A game about desires and secrets brings out the worst in six young people holed up in a secluded mansion on New Year's Eve with one of them a rapist, a homosexual, an infidel, a prostitute, and a hypocrite, and soon their little game breaks out into murder.
Meant to be clever, but no one in their right mind could rightfully compare this to Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians. Underneath is an appalling thriller hampered by clichéd characters, dull story turns, and ultimately, a terrible script that runs short on interest. Filmed in Romania and taken place all in someone's house. Direct-to-video.
Running Time: 80 minutes and rated R for some language, sexual content, and violence.
RATING: * (out of ****)
Grade: D-
Title (Brazil): "Taboo Jogando Com o Assassino" ("Taboo Playing With the Killer")
On a positive note, Nick Stahl's acting was great (especially considering what he had to work with). Eddie Kaye Thomas was also good but he always plays the same type of character... too much Paul Finch from "American Pie" coming through for my liking.
And finally, the worst part of this movie has to be January Jones' emotionless performance... I guess a pretty face really is all that matters in Hollywood.

Benjamin: Question: Would you sleep with a minor? Answer: yes. Let's begin our slide into the moral abyss.
Katie: Oh! Naughty naughty.
Adam: Aw, shit, I, for one, had sex before I was fourteen. I don't see what the big deal is.
Benjamin: Really. I didn't think that they had altar boys in the, uh, the Jewish faith.
Elizabeth: [hurriedly trying to deflect any animosity] Okay, Piper, your turn.
Piper: Question: Would you sleep with a person of the same sex? Answer: yes.
Christian Turner: What a great game to play with our best friends.
Adam: Yeah, fuck Taboo. Let's have an orgy, huh?
Elizabeth: Or enroll in group therapy.
Benjamin: Well, maybe you need new friends.
Piper: Well, actually? We all seem pretty well suited for each other, so far.
Elizabeth: [looks at Adam] Your turn.
Adam: All right, the question is: Would you have a threesome? The answer is yes.
Christian Turner: Two girls and one guy, right?
Piper: Does it matter?
Katie: Well, Mr. Right Wing Conservative over there looks like he might think two girls might be fun. Huh?
[Piper, his current girlfriend, looks at him worriedly]
Elizabeth: Okay, my turn. Question: Would you have sex for money? Answer: yes.
[She looks at Katie]
Katie: I like sex, okay? That does not make me a hooker. At least it doesn't make me a bitch.
Benjamin: That's my baby.
Katie: Question. Mmm. Would you sleep with your partner's best friend? Answer? A very disappointing no.
Christian Turner: Wow. There's one good person amongst us sinners.
Katie: Christian. Pardon me, but don't you have to be a lot fatter and less educated to be part of the Christian coalition?
Christian Turner: So says the prep school anarchist.
Katie: Ah. No, no no. See, I am just a shallow, materialistic party girl, and at least I don't pretend to believe in principles.
