A great film, the actors, especially Jonathan Rhys Meyers played very well and the events in the film are exciting! The end was really shocking for me! Alan (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) falls in love with Jenny and they have an affair, however, there is still the jealous friend (DAVID) of them who is fallen in love with Jenny, he does everything to be with Jenny!I believe that he was never better than Jonathan Rhys-Meyers! As said, the film is exciting with pair of quite cool scenes:)I also think that every JONNY fan should see the film and not only the fans :)

Tangled is an apt description of this film. It jumps around in both time and point of view so that you never really have a clear view of what actually happens in the climax.The one thing that kept going through my mind while watching Tangled was that if Rachel Leigh Cook's Lanie Boggs from "She's all That" had gone off to college convinced that she was now attractive to boys she would have grown into the neurotic, annoying Jenny Kelly she plays in this film. Like Lanie, Jenny is pretentious, arty, and self involved. She does however have a doting admirer in David, a shy boy planning to become a writer who appears to be charmed by Jenny's bohemian, pseudo intellectual ways.David makes the mistake of introducing Jenny to his wacko ex-roommate Alan, one of those guys who is apparently irresistible to women. Alan is better, or at least more dramatic, looking than David. He also appears strongly inclined towards a criminal career, which probably makes him a 'bad boy'. In any case Alan moves in on Jenny, posing nude for her and dragging her off to 'adventures' in the woods. For some strange reason this dysfunctional group becomes a threesome, with Alan and Jenny tormenting David with their romantic activities. I have never seen a crueler scene in a film than when Alan asks David to give him and Jenny 15 minutes alone while they are walking back to their car from an adventure in an abandoned house where something nasty took place in the past involving a good son and a prodigal son.At this point sunshine temporarily enters this dreary film as Alan sets up David with Elise (Estella Warren) a big, funny, sexy girl who originally thinks Alan is asking her out, but manages to respond well when she discovers she has made a date with David instead. Many people have disparaged Estella Warren as an actress, but in the scene in the café with David when she realizes he is her date, Estella Warren does more acting using her face alone than Rachel Leigh Cook does in the entire film. Watching Warren's look change from disappointment to embarrassment to pity to sympathy in the space of a minute shows a genuine sense of how human emotions work. Later as Elise and David walk and talk, Elise's self deprecating humor and ability to poke gentle fun at David's pretensions mark her as a keeper, at least to me.(Spoiler alert) Instead of thanking his lucky stars that a girl like Elise would be interested in him, David remains obsessed with Jenny. Jenny catches Alan and Elise together in flagrante delicto (apparently like Ado Annie, Elise is a girl who can't say no), causing Jenny to throw a monumental, but very arty, hissy fit. This serves to draw David and Jenny together, especially after Alan is arrested for possession with intent to distribute. Alan is convinced that Jenny set him up, out of jealousy,and he plots his revenge during his year in prison. Turns out however, that David is not quite the wimp he appears to be. He used Elise to set up Alan and then turns in Alan so he can have the rebounding Jenny to himself.Everything culminates a year or so later in the abandoned house where David shoots Alan, either to protect himself and Jenny (the official version), or from anger (the apparent true version) because as he says, "After all I did for her, she still wanted the a**hole". At least at this point most men in the audience will feel sympathy with David.

What a stupid, ridiculous little movie! It doesn't work as a thriller, the acting is not bad enough to call it an unintentional comedy, and it can't tell us anything about life either. The only thing I learned from it was that it is not completely uncomprehensible that so many girls are mad about Jonathan Rhys-Meyers. All the three actors do their best to conceal the catastrophic weaknesses of the screenplay. They fail yet raising interest in themselves: Rachel Leigh Cook is sweet, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers is a decent maniac, and Shawn Hatosy is perfectly natural as the miserable "good son". I hope the actors really got a lot of money for this film. So much for the positive aspects.Right from the start the film fails to build up any suspense or even interest in the allegedly mysterious events that go on in the flashbacks. The mix of characters is much too arbitrary to form an attractive plot, so the way they act is stupid and not at all convincing. Single scenes are highly over-directed by use of dramatic music and even more dramatic one-liners. I was prepared for a plot twist but then the film was over and I realized I had missed that "plot" "twist". This is even too bad for television.

I first got to watch this movie on VCD.. and now that the DVD is releasd, I'm really looking forward to watching the extra stuff on the DVD. This movie was pretty cool.. the main reason for being so was cuzRachael Leigh Cook starrs in it.. but then.. still, this movie was interesting and kept my attention pretty well.The movie kept twisting around and around(the plot and the scenes) it did take me a while to realize the story fully, but in the end it all made sense. I thought it was cool how the story was laid out.*SPOILERS* (DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE!!!) at first I thougth that Alan was the bad guy and that David was the good guy... but all thatkinda changed when I got to the end... haha... it made me realize that Alan was DID REALLY love her.. and that David was supposedly trying to protect her from Alan.. cuz he knew Alan's bad reputation wit the three gurls and stuff. And in the process, David wanted her for himself. Also in this movie, Rachael kinda looks sexy, different from her usual cute looks. I just saw a different Rachael in this movie. And the fact that she actually co-produced this movie was kinda cool. I thought she it was pretty good for her first time. I highly recommend this movie... It might be pretty stupid or boring at first... but keep watching it.. and it might keep ya hooked..
