Synopsis

Director Wim Wenders applies his art house touch to this Hollywood tale of an FBI agent investigating a suspicious death at a bizarre, bohemian hotel. Kept simple, it could have worked; unfortunately, Wenders cloaks everything in needless complexity and wilful obscurity. Mel Gibson, whose company Icon Entertainment produced the film, plays the agent and winds up looking considerably less than a million dollars. Others involved include Milla Jovovich, Jeremy Davies, Amanda Plummer and Julian Sands.
