An interesting film that is mildly titillating but ultimately leaves you less than satisfied.Although supposedly based on a true story one wonders just how much truth since it seemed so implausible at times. Do attractive and educated women really marry Marines? Okay not much cerebral empathy but who knows. What about the Rachel Owens character who saves Sydney with her 'Kiss of Life' but then who waits patiently to be seduced by her. What!! There was no dialogue to indicate that either of them had been in a lesbian relationship before only a "I wanted to kiss you the first time I saw you". The ending was as if this low budget film was down to its last dollar.One could imagine Sydney being filmed at her writing retreat with the producer furiously drawing his hand across his throat.Pity he hadn't done it earlier.
