A darkly perverse psychological drama about a man who sublimates his life to those around him and the drastic measures he takes in order to regain the illusion of control. A taut character study set in contemporary Los Angeles.

Cleopatra's Second Husband Ratings & Reviews
Film Threat
Ron Wells
It becomes a quite interesting tale of co-dependency, and the illusions of control people can construct in their lives.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A tough thriller to find enjoyable or completely satisfying no matter how well crafted the story is by writer-director Jon Reiss ...
New York Times
Stephen Holden
The characters are so dislikable that not much seems to be at stake.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
It's a bitter pill to swallow, featuring a quartet of unsympathetic characters and an unrelenting air of misanthropy.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
A diabolically clever psychological suspense movie.
Internet Reviews
Steve Rhodes
Shot in a house in an 18-day shoot, it still backs the wallop of a movie with much bigger stars and budget.
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
Paul Hipp ... garners no sympathy from the viewer as he allows, without reason, everyone to walk over his emotions and needs.
Nitrate Online
Elias Savada
Taking a branch off the (early) Neil LaBute tree of filmmaking, Jon Reis has planted a fashionably disturbing offshoot, fertilized with heavy doses of "Rod-Serlingesque" irony
Citysearch
Bilge Ebiri
Jon Reiss's script has trouble finding its footing, and the plot progresses in awkward jerks.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
One of those potentially interesting movies that takes its sweet time getting to the point -- by which time many audience members will likely have bailed out or dozed off.
Village Voice
Mark Holcomb
Unlike its Hollywood kin ... this scene from the class gurgle has the courage of its convictions -- which are misanthropic enough to make Neil LaBute wince.
San Francisco Examiner
Walter V. Addiego
A weakly performed rehash of master-slave role-reversal tales like The Servant.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
The story is so oddly executed that it frequently seems weird for weirdness' sake.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
The transition isn't as smooth as it might be, but Reiss ... pulls it off better than you might expect, and Robert's revenge is genuinely chilling.
E! Online
The execution of [Reiss's] nightmare ultimately moves too slowly to make this late-blooming freak-out worth waiting for.
IFilm
Dave White
Brutality, poison, torture and other rainy-day fun rules the day and makes this somewhat derivative film an unhinged, sicko treat to watch.
