Movies

The life of a mystery writer begins to resemble one of her novels after she meets a provocative young woman with a dangerous past.

For the longest time I have debated whether or not to see this movie. Amazon.com has recommended the movie to me for awhile now, yet I have never been sure upon what those recommendations are based. I finally broke down when the movie was recommended by my barber of all people. Next thing you know, it's queued on my Blockbuster.com account and off we go.

I had nothing more to go on than the blurb above (if I had more, you'd have more; trust me). With nothing known about the film, I had no expectations going in to watching it. What I discovered was a good movie, do not get me wrong. I have it listed as a "Don't Watch" due to the fact that I am still waiting for something to happen. The movie ended two hours ago and I keep thinking the action is right around the corner. What little happened was entertaining enough, but the movie was slow. I may or may not have had the unrated version, so keep in mind that Swimming Pool was not pure torture.

If it was on purpose that there was so much left unfinished in the film then maybe I have missed the artistic point. I will not go into too much more for fear of ruining the movie if any of you care to see it, but this one left something to be desired. Was I entertained? Yes. Will I see Swimming Pool again? Probably not.
