Neil LaBute had gone off the boil, but this low-budget version of his own stage play (with the same cast, including Rachel Weisz and Paul Rudd, who’d acted in London and Broadway) is a quite brilliant examination of the evil women do, a kind of flipside to In The Company Of Men. It’s also a clever debate about the interface between creativity and love or sex. Weisz relishes the chance to be acid on legs.
