Review

This film, co-directed and overproduced, is far more enigmatic than it can logically carry. Halle Berry stars as the star psychiatrist who, accused of murdering her husband, are being put in psychiatric care herself and have to act as her own investigator. Clever, some might say, but most of all messy. Robert Downey's character is kept secretive for no other reason than the plot's wish, and the same can be said for the essence of the mystery. Halle Berry is energetic but not much more as the film takes its time to get to a fairly conventional finale.
