Jill Fitzpatrick is a 28-year old, street-smart, out-of-work private investigator wishing she wasn't celibate. Eager for the taste of adrenaline, she accepts a job investigating the disappearance of Mickey, a young female student. Jill quickly strikes a spark with the seductive Diana, Mickey's poetry lecturer. But it is not long before Mickey's strangled body is found. Distrusting the cops, Mickey's grief-stricken parents ask Jill to find her murderer. Jill is soon hurled into a passionate liaison with Diana as she enters the surprisingly seamy underworld of Mickey's life, looking for clues to her murder. For whom did Mickey write her sexually charged poems? What is the connection between Mickey and her two favorite poets? Who is leaving threatening messages in verse on Jill's answering machine? Blinded by her passion, Jill is compromised in her search for the truth - until her own life is in danger.

Movie Reviews

New Times (L.A.) - 9/10 by David EhrensteinThink "Basic Instinct" with brains, and you've got it.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Kevin ThomasIn directing The Monkey's Mask from Annie Kennedy's adaptation of Dorothy Porter's novel-in-poetry, Samantha Lang displays considerable style and assurance, with Porter and McGillis giving beautifully nuanced portrayals.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe mystery story seemed drained of any suspense.
SPLICEDWire - 9/10 by Rob Blackwelder...a brilliantly modern homage to everything that was great about the golden era of gritty gumshoe flicks.
L.A. Weekly - 8/10 by Paul MalcolmWhat makes the film compelling is the filmmakers' ability to blend a studied (occasionally academic) dissection of cultural and sexual decadence with a potboiler plot.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Jay CarrBuilds and sustains considerable interest through its unexpected characterizations, unusual milieu and atmospheric style.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 7/10 by Paula NechakIt isn't quite like watching a train wreck -- it's more perverse and anti-climactic -- but it's as hard to shake once it's passed.
New York Times - 6/10 by A.O. ScottSamantha Lang's flat, paceless direction and Annie Kennedy's painfully expository script ... makes the conceit seem preposterous.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Jami BernardKelly McGillis quite literally as you've never seen her -- as a manipulative, icy sex goddess in whose bedroom there are no limits.
Mr. Showbiz - 6/10 by Kevin MaynardMcGillis, though, is the film's worst enemy. Her wooden attempts to recreate Kathleen Turner circa 1981 undermine too many scenes.
