He's bleeding from a beating by unknown assailants and will only accept assistance from David and Alexis if they agree not to call the police. The delay keeps the Weinbergs from boarding the final ferry, so they rent a motel room. Later, the nameless, mysterious man becomes a stowaway on the ferry and arrives on the island. After he once again bumps into the Weinbergs, they invite him to stay at their cottage. Is the couple a target? Or has the stranger been hired by one spouse to eliminate the other? Shown at the 1998 Seattle Film Festival and the 1998 Hamptons Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

    *SPOILERS* I would like to think that Norman Reedus was there as a symbol of Death, and when Alexis finally gave into him, it symbolized that she gave into death. That's how I like to think that went. This gay lovers thing with Alan Rickman and Norman Reedus was retarded and prac... read moretically unwarranted. Stupid.

    definitely not fitting of the fearnet list i chose it from. interesting movie and cast. none of this mattered or affected me though, b/c as soon as i saw Alan Rickman and Norman Reedus in the same cast line up i declared, "woo!" and hit play.

    I really don't get why everyone thinks its really good. I honestly did get it. It was like confusing cause it kept on changing. Thats not cool. I don't recommend this one.

    All time favorite movie!! It's just amazing. I thought the way they filmed it was great. There were hints all over the place that pointed to the ending, some were obvious, and others weren't so. I thought it was brilliantly made. And the location really was key.
    It doesn't help ... read morethat my all-time favorite actors are two of the main characters....

    Some of this film seems to have been left on the cutting room floor. However, I love the film noir feel and the timelessness of it. Rickman is outstanding as always.

    Well, I was a little dissipointed when I saw this film. Alan Rickman, gay? What was that All about. Although I must say that it was frekin hott when he kissed that guy at the end. But who dosent wanna kiss Alan Rickman? I know I do!
