How far will you go to keep a secret? The tagline of the movie promises much. So does, to begin with, the plot which features a hideously disfigured dead body, a curvaceous hack, a covetous researcher, and an advertising tycoon.
Rowena Price Halle sets out to unearth the killer of her childhood friend with the help of her hacker pal Giovanni who has the hots for her. The target of her suspicion is Harrison Hill Bruce, the multi-millionaire her friend was having an affair with. She smuggles her way into his office knowing that he has a glad eye. Soon they are snogging in private booths in pricey restaurants till he finds out who she really is.
There8217;s a twist in the tale which is really surprising. And an assured performance from the very-sexy Halle. Bruce is all crinkle eyed seduction, too. But the movie doesn8217;t add up to much: the plot meanders, there are too many red herrings, and the end doesn8217;t really justify the means.
