not bad
far too long, could easily lose 20 minutes. The erotic scene is not very, although you do see Jolie's impressive chest, and barely 2 minutes out of 110 running time does not make it an erotic thriller. Oh, there is a bath scene a bit later on, not that you see much. Still the story itself is quite good and there are a few twists. Worth seeing if you have nothing better to do.
Jolie nice
Banderas & Jolie onscreen together wearing smiles and very little else - what more could you want? Didn't know which one I fancied the most...
Actually, besides the obvious attractions, both the plot and the acting were surprisingly good. Banderas was compelling as the spider who couldn't help himself getting sucked into Jolie's web, whilst Jolie herself was both villain and victim at the same time. Worth a watch, particularly if you are a fan of either or both actors.
