Summary
Paloma Joia (going under the alias of Molly Bloom, and other fictional literary characters, such as Emma Woodhouse and Fleur Forsyte), runs a real estate scam with her lover Smith.
Cosplaying through a life of crime is going swimmingly, until they get too cocky and choose brilliant neurosurgeon Dr. Kezian, who has a dark agenda for Paloma.
Hypovolemic shock
Screenwriters dropped a bollock by not calling Healey's pointless character Faith.
As combining both first names would make...
Anyway, what appears to a derivative of Saw X (what Bousman didn't direct), quickly becomes something far more ridiculous.
Kezian plans to remove half of Paloma's brain and transfer it to his comatose wife Rebecca, who for years has been suffering from a degenerative brain disease.
He owns two houses side by side, with basements converted into makeshift hospitals.
I know walls aren't transparent, but that's not in the slightest bit suspicious, right?
(Laughs).
Smith is chatted up by a random bloke in a bar and when told that Paloma's 'boyfriend' beats her up, geezer takes a gun, forces his way inside Kezian's house and is amusingly killed by a broken vinyl disc.
IT'S SO FUCKING STUPID.
Bumbling cops Crace and Warricker (hot on 'Molly's' trail) storm the 'wrong' house and discover a morgue, but don't think to check next door.
So while the NYPD stand around dejected, Kezian successfully performs surgery and some time later, nurses Rebecca back to health at another mansion.
But as Paloma's brain is inside wife's body, she slits his throat.
The end.
