After watching this film I'm trying to understand what it's about? Their was no substance to it at all. The acting was good for what it was. But not much more. The story was weak. I don't enjoy being a critic, but this one ..... not something I'll give another watch. I hate to say it, but it is a forgetful piece of work. I just don't see it ...

The screenplay destroyed any potential this film may have had.

The story is absolutely useless and unnecessary from start to midpoint. The remainder of the scenes where convoluted (especially the ending) and so dragged out - especially the lame sex scenes.

I had to fast forward most of the long scenes as I was losing my interest and patience. What were the writers thinking? A 5th grader could have written this better.

This film suffered an identity crisis; what is soft porn? what is a romance? was it a thriller? was it spy film? There was certainly no action or suspense. There where so many plot issues and more holes than in Swiss cheese.

The cinematography was the main highlight, then the acting, and finally the directing was fairly decent, although the director should have demanded this film be edited down - especially the dragged out useless scenes to perhaps a short film. 104 mins was waaay too long for the pacing that was so ridiculously slow. The score was also annoying.

As a huge fan of KR, this was a big disappointment and he should have passed on this one. A 3/10 from me only for the very few positive traits.

In dreary Siberia, diamond trader Keanu Reeves shows up to discover what has become of his missing partner. Instead of tending to business, he begins an affair with Ashley St. George, who doesn't like anyone. Others are interested in the big blue-white diamonds of questionable origin, as well as Miss St. George.

Shot in a blue-grey haze to indicate just how cold the landscape and emotional content of the movie is, Keanu Reeves offers another of his blank-faced performances. He is certainly a serious actor, who works at his craft, but his range is of a peculiarly small variety, which makes him suitable for playing Bill, or someone who has half his brain carved out, but not someone with any emotional depth. He is a good-looking fellow who, like Robert Taylor before him, wishes to be a good actor, but who got a foothold because of his good looks, and keeps working because of it. The frigid story suits him, but does not hold my interest.
