First let me say, I am not generally a fan of this type of movie. I only rented it because Ewan McGregor is in it, and even then I wasn't sure I would like it. But, surprise, surprise - as disturbing as it was I loved it - and watched 4 times in a couple days!
Why? I'm not sure. It is a brilliantly done film. The more you watch it the more you like it - or at least I did. The story revolves around 3 flatmates, Alex, David & Juliet who discover their new roommate dead with a suitcase full of money. What to do? Keep the money and get rid of the body, of course! Things spiral downward from here bringing up the issues of greed, trust, betrayal and friendship among the 3.
As gruesome as some of the subject matter was, it was very well done without being right in your face - except at the end which is difficult for me to watch. But it definitely makes a point (no pun intended!).
I recommend this movie highly, even for the slightly squeamish, especially if you are a fan of Ewan's.
