Here’s what the distributor says about their film: (from the producer) Jewel is a beautiful drifter who attracts the undying devotion of three men: Randy, Randy’s cousin (and lawyer) Carl and Detective Dehling. Part security seeker, part femme fatale, Jewel strings each fellow along until someone literally ends up dead.

…doesn’t depend on gross-out gags—despite its taste for sex and violence…
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
…[if you see this] you really WON’T respect yourself in the morning, no matter how hard you try…
Gemma Files, Film.com
…at least 11 uses of the “f” word… implied oral sex, S&M type material, and a fantasy segment regarding lesbianism
ScreenIt!
Here’s the deal… three guys fall all over themselves (and each other) for the Liv Tyler character. She uses sex to get what she wants from each of them, and in the process destroys each of their lives. Language, violence, crime… definitely a low-morals movie. It is however, well-written, funny, and has a creative way of telling the same story from the viewpoint of each of the three men. There’s a lot worse movies out there, but this isn’t for kids.
