Plot Details: This opinion reveals major details about the movie's plot.

This is one unbelievably bad "thriller".  I put that word in quotes because it lacked any kind of thrill for me.  I'm talking about Sisters, not the 1973 Brian De Palma version, but the 2006 version, starring Chloë Sevigny.

Poor Dr. Wallace.  He meets the lovely Angelique at a party, and takes her home.  After a night of love-making, he even returns the next day with a birthday cake for Angelique and her twin sister.  What a nice guy!  Too bad Angelique hasn't had her meds that day, and flips out.  Dr. Wallace ends up dead, and Angelique gets her ex-husband to come over and help her.  Too bad for her, though, that the entire thing was witnessed by reporter Grace (Sevigny).  But by the time Grace can get the police over to Angelique's apartment, there's not a shred of evidence that a crime took place.

The rest of the movie follows Grace's attempts to get to the bottom of the murder that she knows she saw.  Despite the absolute worst police investigation I've ever seen in a movie, Grace is determined to prove the murder took place.  But there's a lot more going on with Angelique and her ex-husband than meets the eye.  And eventually we find out that Grace has a bit of a past, as well.

That's the story, in a nutshell.  Written out that way it actually sounds OK, doesn't it?  Well, it's not.  This is truly one of the worst movies I've seen in quite some time.  With horrible performances and a ridiculous script, this movie really fails.

First of all, Lou Doillon gives a horrible performance as Angelique.  Nothing she said rang true.  Then there was Stephen Rea as her ex-husband.  He's supposed to be a mad-genius type of physician.  But he just comes off as ridiculous - comical, even.  Like the "absent-minded professor".  Too bad this movie wasn't supposed to be a comedy! 

Then there are scenes that were worthy of eye-rolls.  Like a scene at a bakery where Dr. Wallace goes to buy the birthday cake.  Many minutes were spent ‘negotiating' with the kid behind the counter.  About how long the cake would take to prepare, and about how many letters could be written on the top of the cake.  As none of this was important to the story, it was just a complete waste of time!

Further eye-rolling occurred when the police came to the apartment.   I'm talking Keystone-like silliness.  They take seats, make themselves comfortable, eat the mostly-melted cake, but don't notice the various bloodstains. 

It went on and on like this.  With one scene after another causing me to cringe.  And then it ended.  And I was grateful for that.  But even the ending was horrible.  I mean really, truly horrendous stuff.  I get the feeling that the director was trying to be "artsy" but it just came off as ridiculous.

Save yourself the 90 minutes it takes to watch this garbage.  Not recommended.  Not for anyone at anytime.
