This movie is a welcome relief from the frenetic "Bourne" type thrillers, although the pace of this movie detracts from the thriller label.  It is deliberately slow to allow the suspense to develop.  Those who come to this movie to see car chases and crashes, explosions and hand to hand combat will be sorely disappointed.  Those who come for the sex will not be disappointed.  Well photographed.  It shows an Italy that is at the same time beautiful and mundane.  The restaurants are seedy.  The locations are anything but sumptuous.  The women are beautiful.

Damn it. I had already decided to hate this movie due to the lame title and never see it. Now you're saying there's boobilige? That changes the game considerably.

I saw this a while back as well. Tons of boobs - same chick. But she's got GREAT boobs. They are almost perfect. She's smoking hot.

Stew's review is right on the money but I'd be curious to hear his thoughts on the ending. We don't have to give anything away but I thought final scene was too Forrest Gump and didn't fit with the rest of the tone of the film. It spoiled it a little for me.

This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.

I think 75% of that girl's scenes were topless. I'm guessing Clooney had quite a bit of input on this movie, considering:

- there were multiple scenes of Clooney doing shirtless pushups and pullups
- multiple scenes of Clooney boinking said topless prostitute
- the whole thing was filmed on location in Italy
