As opening night approaches, the theater world holds its breath. Now life begins to imitate art, and the lethal violence scripted to end the play may become all too real.
A brash young American, Robin Grange (Jon Bon Jovi), comes to London to star in a major new production - and becomes the central character in a mystery fueled by intrigue and passion. Celebrated playwright Felix Webb (Lambert Wilson) asks the charismatic leading man to seduce his wife, Helena (Anna Galiena), freeing Felix to carry on his illicit romance with beautiful actress Hilary Rule (Thandie Newton). But Robin soon reveals an ominous dark side, a fondness for firearms, and a taste for other men's women. Now playwright and actor are locked in a bitterly personal two-man show, which threatens to explode in a deadly climax.

and B) it starred Jon Bon Jovi and although I personally hate the guy, my
wife loves him. Therefore I decided to be a nice guy and buy the disc for
her to watch.
