Maybe people can be afraid (or excited) right from the start as they see Playboy production but this movie offers much than expected ! Sure Kim shows (a little of) her beautiful skin (which can be a surprise as it's not her choice of career) but she is totally believable as the Femme Fatale and it's good to see her bad! However it's in the visual setting and its photography that the movie really surprises : nearly all the movie happens in Kim's big loft / studio and this environment is made mysterious and enchanted : orange light, saturated contrast, creepy darkness… It reminds me a bit of the apartments in « blade runner » and that's not easy to get so far ! In addition, i found the Indian lore depicted with taste so even if the story is not really original, the movie is really well delivered and i really didn't expect so much !
