• Criticized for its nonsensical plot and reliance on nudity over substance.

• Accused of being a shallow imitation of better erotic thrillers.

• Despite a strong lead, the film fails to deliver a compelling narrative or genuine suspense.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a mixed reaction, with some viewers finding the premise intriguing and Sharon Stone's performance compelling, while others were disappointed by the convoluted plot and perceived lack of originality.

The apartment building featured in the film, the 'Elysian Fields', was actually a composite of several different real-life Los Angeles buildings, with extensive set dressing and CGI used to create its futuristic appearance.
