Overview
An engaged Hollywood agent receives a mysterious letter for an anonymous sexual encounter and becomes ensnared in a sinister world of lying, infidelity, and digital data.
I think at times this movie couldn’t figure out if it was a comedy, drama or thriller. In the end I don’t think it did any of them particularly well. It probably didn’t help that when the male lead would freak out he reminded me of Jim Carrey in Liar Liar. I think that it had a decent premise but it didn’t always know what to do with the mystery. It may have made more sense to understand exactly why he wanted to get to the bottom of the mystery.
