Starts with a number of people receiving an identical extravagant puzzle box. And this is exactly what the film is. A large extravagant expensive puzzle box. Beautifully filmed, magnificent setting, well acted. But all in all this is all the film is.

This puzzle box of a film is at its core an empty box, all flashy and showy on the outside but an empty box all the same. The problem is while the plot is quite interesting and the twist part way through is unexpected and could lead to a number of interesting outcomes it doesn't really deliver in the end. This is down ,a great deal, to the main characters all of whom are thinly fleshed out and in one way or another are rather obnoxious. I couldn't care less about any of them and their shallow selfish existence.
