I have never felt so compelled to tell people to stay away from a film, a filmmaker and actors more than this film, this filmmaker and these actors. Somebody had an provocative idea for a movie, but no ability to deliver one. And it ends abruptly with several captions to explain what happened after, which were both inane and unsatisfying. The young woman is nowhere near credible as a skilled and dangerous war veteran. Swan Lake! It was like a parody of a bad lovemaking scene! The boy is appealing enough in the lead but every other performance in the movie seems amateurish. The most memorable sex scene involves them jumping on the bed as the camera moves away and points to the floor as the couple's articles of clothing are thrown there into a pile while music from Swan Lake is played. For such a prurient plot line there is nothing in this movie that would make a nun blush. Barely a notch above homemade YouTube video productions. It's an interesting idea for a movie and the trailer made it look like it could be a credible film, but it is close to bottom-of-the-barrel film making. I waited a long time for this to become available on DVD.
