| Rating |  | | Date | June 17, 2005 | | Summary | Top-notch Noir Film! | Content
 | When you have talent, a good script and remarkable cast, it is almost impossible for you not to triumph, even you make a low budget picture without great and spectacular effects that just only mesmerize to the new generation of teenagers.
There is solid story behind this plot.As you know one of the classical premises of the Noir Films is that nobody is absolutely innocent. That is why many people are beaten by this circumstance.
The presence of the captivating and seductive Natasha Henstridge from the intial shots, coming to the Used Books Tent will open Pandora' box.
Through a very well articulated mechanism of dark loyalties and hard to believe solidarities, the viewer will be engaged progressively in this drama.
A personal tragedy, a love affair, several stolen millions, betrayal and passionate and complex web of facts and events will make of this film one of the most interesting movies in years that I 've seen.
Highly recommended. |

| Second Skin is a very nicely realized contemporary noir tale that is considerably elevated above the usual "cable noir" junk by its beautiful photography, icy score, and the remarkable beauty and underrated acting of Natasha Henstridge, who has never been sexier or more controlled in her performance. The director makes the most of his Cape Town locations, which look enough like the California coast to make you forget this was shot anywhere else. The plot doesn't break much new ground, but it delivers a very surprising final twist. Fans of Henstridge and the genre wont be disappointed. |

| Henstridge is the best thing in this. Angus Mc-whats-his-name is atrociously bad. Mind numbingly, indescribably terrible. Perhaps the worst acting I have ever seen outside of "Battlefield Earth". The plot of this thing is dumb-o. At the end it was aiming to be "daughter-of-Basic-Instinct" - and missing that particular target by about a zillion miles. This isn't even good B-movie fare. It is very bad maybe Z-movie fare. I think I am gonna use the DVD for wind chimes. |
