Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The acting in this movie is really good.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I think this is the maximum number of plot twists that can be put in a single movie. The story line is good, beatifically laid out. Many plot twists, you will never see any of them coming.

# No Spoilers!Directed by Eric Van LooyStarring Karl Urban, Wentworth Miller and James MarsdenOverall: This movie is really bad and I definitely don't recommend you see it. Two semi-competent performances and the little amount of will to live I had left in me kept this movie from being a 1/10. It is just plain terrible and I beg of you not to see it. It's not so bad it's good; it's so bad it's awful.# Possible Spoilers!Good:1. Wentworth Miller does decent as Luc Seynaeve2. Karl Urban was okay as Vincent.3. I was reasonably interested in the movie throughout.Bad:1. All other actors were appalling2. Two grand, game changing twists were not needed. One was fine.3. Speaking of the twist, I guessed the final outcome within maybe 10 minutes of the film starting.4. Horrific cinematography.5. Even the minuscule effects used were awful.3/10

Initially, this film appeared to fall under the definition of " L. O. P. " or least objectionable programming, a term that once applied to a minimally annoying cable feature one might discover in the course of late night channel surfing, which ironically, generally involved the lure of the lewd. While there's minimal gratuitous sex and violence contained, the story manages to be a completely salacious tale of dirt balls and scuzbuckets engaged in a total sleaze fest nonetheless. Karl Urban as Vince heads up the seamy crew as the main skeeze who covertly engages in getting his ashes hauled by the wives, girlfriends and sisters of his alleged friends who in turn demonstrate their strong sense of ethical fair play by framing him for a murder that they actually committed. With fiends like this, who needs enemies or even a key to the titular den of iniquity. Plot holes big enough to drive a Safari station wagon through only add to the cinematic malaise. Lots of whoring, lying, double dealing, voyeurism, cheating, drinking and sordid shenanigans by all the characters although they display some negative qualities as well. Everything is neatly wrapped up in the scurrilous, but consistent finale when Rachael Taylor as Anne the lovable strumpet, love interest of James Marsden as Chris, appears to rekindle their passion, wife and kids be damned. I jacked it up to 5 stars for its inherently misplaced entertainment value.

Five friends share the use of a loft, where they entertain girlfriends and mistresses out of the prying eyes of their wives.The movie starts with the finding of a woman's body cuffed to the bed. The story is then told through flashbacks as well as present time. As the five try to figure out what happened secrets are revealed that tests their friendship and loyalty to the full. How can they sort out the mess without their wives hearing about their loft?Some of the characters do not seem very 'real' and I found the end rather disappointing but it's an average watch and a few twists kept me guessing until near the end.
