Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBefore the filming of an outdoor scene by the river, a gaffer was fixing the lights and noticed something floating by in the river. It was a dead body. The police were called and when they arrived, they anchored it to the dock, out of sight of the camera. They removed it after the scene was shot.
- GoofsSam writes the words "Sex Crimes" on the chalkboard, but the next shot has it written in smaller letters. The number of underlines also changes. Actually there are four different layouts of this text between cuts.
- Quotes
Detective Ray Duquette: People aren't always what they appear to be. Don't forget that.
- Crazy creditsInterspersed with the credits are additional scenes that explain some of the plot twists.
- Alternate versionsThe Indian theatrical version was cut by the CBFC to achieve an 'A' (restricted to adults) rating in Mumbai. They made cuts to the visual of bare breasts during a love making scene, the visuals of Lombardo touching the girls' breast kneeling before her and lifting her skirt, removing her panting, sucking her breast, pouting her panties, her breasts, the love making of the three persons in bed, and the visuals of Kelly getting out of the swimming pool with the camera focusing on her body. Cuts were made to some lines in dialogues. "Fucking me in the ass", "motherfucker", "nail his balls", "fucking little ass", "stupid c*nt" and "cocksucker". The uncut version of the film was later re-classified 'U/A' (parental guidance) by the CBFC in Bangalore in 2013.

Featured review
Much has been said about the sexual content of this movie for which I can only say it was nice to get such mice views, clothed and unclothed of Denise Richards. But overall the sexuality of this film is moderate at best.
Why i really liked it is because all of the twists in the plots actually come together. At the end of the film, integrated with the end credits, are previously unseen events that kept the full tale slightly hidden from the viewer. By inserting them at the end, the full story was told without inhibiting the ride. If you missed the hints and clues along the way, u can see what you failed to figure out.
Certainly this is not a tale that fails to stretch credibility, but its is a film for amusement. But unlike so many, the mystery is solvable and does not rely on contrivances created at the end to make you feel stupid. If you miss them you are not stupid, but if foresee any of the conclusion, and the can be foreseen, hats off to you.
