(#2) Amber Heard stars as "clairvoyant femme fatale Nicola Six" in this thriller (adapted from the Martin Amis novel) from music video director turned first-time feature director Mathew Cullen. The film was in pre-production as early as 2001 (with David Cronenberg once attached to direct), and Cullen's version was due in 2015, only to be tied up in multiple legal disputes over the ensuing years. You'll be better off if you pretend that it remains on the shelf; either way, it's unwatchable.

“A boring and garish mess that even fans of the book will find nearly impossible to follow, this is easily the most embarrassing film with which Amis has ever been even vaguely connected.” —Peter Sobczynski, RogerEbert.com
