Good concept, poorly executed.

Absolutely amazing

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

I really enjoyed this movie. The cast is excellent, the plot keeps you guessing and there are several twists in the film that neither the characters nor the audience see coming.Five lifelong friends, Vincent (Karl Urban), Chris (James Marsden), Luke (Wentworth MIller),Marty (Eric Stonestreet) and Phillip (Matthias Schoenarrts) share a secret loft for cheating on their wives. One morning, there is a dead blond covered in blood on the bed in the loft. The five friends all start accusing each other. The story then flashes back to the weeks leading up to the crime and gives you plenty of reasons to suspect any or all of them. Vincent is an architect who tried to leverage a political leader. Chris is cheating on his very scary wife (Rhona Mitra) with an emotionally unavailable woman, Anne (a gorgeous Rachel Taylor). Luke might have feelings for Vincent that go beyond friendship. Marty is a loudmouth, obnoxious drunk. Phillip is a sadistic druggie.The cast does a fantastic job of playing these successful, but very flawed men. Each one could have conceivably killed the girl. The plot gets thrilling when each man starts blaming the other while trying to defend who he is not the killer. The simplest thing would be to just call the cops and let them sort it out, but then the wives would find out about the loft and all five men might be accessories to murder.The reveal of the killer(s) and the resolution were top-notch in my opinion. Even after finding out "who done it" the characters still make stupid, but very human decisions. That's what I loved about the film. The killer(s) identity doesn't end the suspense.My only issue with the film is the short attention paid to the female characters. The wives are one-dimensional and are just there to provide someone for their husband's to cheat on (ex. Rhona Mitra just glares at her husband in every scene. She has made a career out of glaring, but she's still lovely to look at). The other two female characters of Anne and Sarah (Isabel Lucas) are underwritten and poorly utilized (and one of them is the poor soul on the bed).. These characters could have been fleshed out better so they were more integral and integrated into the plot. As it is, they just feel kind of tossed in.I'm sure there is a backstory as to why the studio put this movie on the shelf for almost 3 years. It was filmed in 2011 and not released until 2014. I'd love to hear why. Its a neat little thriller and has enough suspense to keep you guessing. The actors/actresses give it their all and the ending(s) catch you off-guard.

I, like another user, have just opened an account so that I can warn people against this movie. Don't get me wrong it's bad in a funny sort of way but don't listen to anyone who says it has suspense or mystery! The script is one cliche after another for the whole movie and gives men such a bad rep im glad my wife fell asleep watching it. The psychiatrist character is the most vacant looking and wide eyed mental health professional i could ever imagine existing, in fact the only passable character was the new york guy from "the drop". God i hate men after this, we are such a bunch of b******s

Initially, this film appeared to fall under the definition of " L. O. P. " or least objectionable programming, a term that once applied to a minimally annoying cable feature one might discover in the course of late night channel surfing, which ironically, generally involved the lure of the lewd. While there's minimal gratuitous sex and violence contained, the story manages to be a completely salacious tale of dirt balls and scuzbuckets engaged in a total sleaze fest nonetheless. Karl Urban as Vince heads up the seamy crew as the main skeeze who covertly engages in getting his ashes hauled by the wives, girlfriends and sisters of his alleged friends who in turn demonstrate their strong sense of ethical fair play by framing him for a murder that they actually committed. With fiends like this, who needs enemies or even a key to the titular den of iniquity. Plot holes big enough to drive a Safari station wagon through only add to the cinematic malaise. Lots of whoring, lying, double dealing, voyeurism, cheating, drinking and sordid shenanigans by all the characters although they display some negative qualities as well. Everything is neatly wrapped up in the scurrilous, but consistent finale when Rachael Taylor as Anne the lovable strumpet, love interest of James Marsden as Chris, appears to rekindle their passion, wife and kids be damned. I jacked it up to 5 stars for its inherently misplaced entertainment value.
