Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBefore the filming of an outdoor scene by the river, a gaffer was fixing the lights and noticed something floating by in the river. It was a dead body. The police were called and when they arrived, they anchored it to the dock, out of sight of the camera. They removed it after the scene was shot.
- GoofsSam writes the words "Sex Crimes" on the chalkboard, but the next shot has it written in smaller letters. The number of underlines also changes. Actually there are four different layouts of this text between cuts.
- Quotes
Detective Ray Duquette: People aren't always what they appear to be. Don't forget that.
- Crazy creditsInterspersed with the credits are additional scenes that explain some of the plot twists.
- Alternate versionsThe Indian theatrical version was cut by the CBFC to achieve an 'A' (restricted to adults) rating in Mumbai. They made cuts to the visual of bare breasts during a love making scene, the visuals of Lombardo touching the girls' breast kneeling before her and lifting her skirt, removing her panting, sucking her breast, pouting her panties, her breasts, the love making of the three persons in bed, and the visuals of Kelly getting out of the swimming pool with the camera focusing on her body. Cuts were made to some lines in dialogues. "Fucking me in the ass", "motherfucker", "nail his balls", "fucking little ass", "stupid c*nt" and "cocksucker". The uncut version of the film was later re-classified 'U/A' (parental guidance) by the CBFC in Bangalore in 2013.

Featured review
There is a website that shows silly abbreviated synopsises for movies...for this movie it says "There's a plot twist, There's a plot twist, There's a plot twist...There's a plot twist...There's a plot twist...There's a plot twist...The End...There's a plot twist."
This sums up the movie very accurately. It's mind popcorn, nothing more. The saving grace of this movie is that you KNOW it's a melodrama that's really not to be taken seriously.
The main actors bring life into what could be very overdone characters. The cinematography is not to be missed, and the supporting cast fills in the movie nicely.
Not a great movie, but a good movie to vegg out to!
