The right place to do wrong.
For five men, the opportunity to share a penthouse in the city -- in which to carry on extramarital affairs -- is a dream come true, until the dead body of an unknown woman turns up. Realizing that her killer must be one of their group, the men are gripped by paranoia as each one suspects another.

I recently obtained a large stack of blu-rays for cheap and this movie was among them. I randomly chose this one to watch, as I’m a sucker for a good thriller. The film was well shot, the acting good. Lots of pretty people, and locations. Much of the dialogue was hormonal teenager and frat boy and surface level deep. The premise completely questionable, the plot rather ridiculous but believable given the set up, turned ridiculous as time went on - it still offered some twists and kept me guessing the whole time. In summary: this is five friends acting like self absorbed pigs and behaving badly and covering for each other. The whole thing is a train wreck of characters who were tempting disaster. A line that illustrates the biggest problems with this film comes from one of the leads to his brother, “we don’t treat women like that.” After their brother raped and beat a girl. Which is so profoundly twisted coming from someone who is cheating on their wife (they all are) and then cover for his brother's crimes. Somehow they write this in as if this line makes them on some higher moral ground. Despite all of this, somehow I still could watch it even if goes against my standards. Mostly
