Review from Lovefilm.com, UK

Steven West from Norfolk, England, 08/03/2006

Released in the US as METHOD and given a mystifying new title over here (did they pick two words at random and hope for the best?!), this forgettable low budgeter has a game performance from Liz Hurley, effectively playing two roles and sending up her own showbiz persona. Hurley stars as an actress making a comeback via a new movie and a provocative dress (cynical onlookers are heard remarking 'She's gorgeous but can't act!'). In the film-within-the-film she plays a real-life, turn of the century Indiana widow who lured men to her farmhouse and killed them for money. When people close to the production start to die, it appears that she might be getting too close to her new role.

It's fun to see Hurley and the always excellent Jeremy Sisto (as her co-star/old flame) sporting Southern accents in the flashback scenes, and there's a HELLRAISER-esque frisson to the moments in which the widow seduces men in her home before bludgeoning them with hammers. Sadly, despite some bloody moments and decent production values, the movie is let down by an uninvolving murder mystery and a confusing resolution.
