Turbid tale of parallel passions: a 19th-century double axe-murder on Smuttynose Island off the coast of New Hampshire, and a present-day photojournalist exploring the scene of the crime on a boating party, with Elizabeth Hurley flaunting herself in a bikini under the basilisk eye of the photographer's husband, a Pulitzer Prize poet. A bit lopsided in dramatic interest, depending upon how you feel about Elizabeth Hurley in a bikini. Based on a novel by Anita Shreve; with Catherine McCormack, Sean Penn, Josh Lucas, Sarah Polley, and Ciaran Hinds; directed by Kathryn Bigelow. (2002) — Duncan Shepherd
