While a lot of the time, I am a mainstream guy - who likes to watch known films with a lot of buzz and famous celebs, one in a while I take myself more seriously, and venture out to explore on foreign terrain. This time, I decided to listen to my gut feeling, and rent Sexual Dependency. While usually, Spanish-language films annoy me - the premise behind Sexual Dependency sounded interesting, especially to me - a guy who enjoys movies with sexual themes.
I was pleasantly surprised by this movie: when I started watching it, and the split screen appeared, with dramatic music in the background - I was a bit hesitant. I though "Well, there starts another tears-filled international drama". In edition, the split screen really confused me in the beginning, and I thought to myself "Where the hell should I look?". But after you get the deal with the filming, you learn to appreciate this work of art: the idea of different perspective to each scene is amazing! Whoever though of showing us this split world is a genius!
Another thing to like about this movie is the collection of people, whose stories interweave amongst each other. Even though some stories are more interesting and unique, and other are a bit more commercial and clichéd - the general picture is quite nice. The end of the movie is highly surprising, though weak, and a lot of ends don't create a tie - yet still, you feel fulfilled after you watch this film.
While it is not perfect, it falls quite closely - thanks to an interesting plot construction, amazing filming, and even a little bit of South American music can't hurt.
If you're into unique work of cinematic art - especially international film fans - you cannot afford to miss this creation.

There's nothing new here: a guy, killing gals and other guys, blah blah blah... But this movie is none the less interesting, and actors and actresses are good, and the storyline is more or less intriguing. But still, it's a thriller with no uniqueness.
Well, I don't know where to begin trashing this movie.
Well, first of all, everything written in here doesn't apply to Courteney Cox and her character.
The main actors are pathetic, except Cox, which proves she has great skill. The other characters are pretty much useless, except some nice scenes with several supporting actors.
The action in this movie is also old and doesn't renovate nothing, like Matrix' (1999) bullet-time, or Charlie's Angels' (2000) fast-paced action. Here, don't expect anything like that, or even close.
Don't waste your time on this, unless you're a Courteney Cox fan, since here is a great performance of this wonderful actress, wasted in a low-class movie.
