Warning: Spoilers
You know when you're in the right mood and you catch a bad movie and have a great time? I was lucky enough to catch this movie at just such a time.

This movie has logical flaws up the wazoo. There are so many ludicrous things to keep your mind active.

Litte things like: The woman is completely bonkers, yet seems to live in a real nice house, has a fancy computer setup with 3 monitors but appears to have no job. She takes pictures of things she couldn't photograph. And apparently is a technical wizard. And the movie never bothers to explain anything.

Howell's beautiful wife goes through some great emotional journey. One minute she's leaving her husband, the next minute she's screwing him and turning vigilante.

And so few films give us 'chick fights to the death.' Fantastic.

As others have pointed out, the movie is spawning with red herrings. Pretty much every woman except Howell's wife is a blonde so everyone is a suspect. SEMI BIG SPOILER- Of course the movie cleverly keeps the killers face hidden until the finale so when the reveal happens... the viewer can revel in the surprise that they still don't know who the heck she is! That's some fine directing! Even at the closing credits, there was an additional moment of pure cheese that had me giggling.

This movie is not good by any stretch of the imagination. It makes no sense. Logic flaws left and right. Inexplicable characters and character choices. But if you can laugh at this stuff, you just might have a good time.
