is supposed to be a very nerdy, sexually inexperienced accountant. Hey Ewan, I've got news for you - putting on a dowdy mac and wearing your hair in an unadventurous style doesn't convince anyone that you're shy, Mr Nomates, especially when in rapid succession you bed several unbelievably attractive women. Anyway, that perhaps sums up some of the problem I had with this 'suspense/thriller'. So to the plot. McQuarry is auditing a company and bumps into charismatic Wyatt Bose and they become instant friends (yeah right). Someone their mobiles get mixed up and McQuarry thereby becomes a part of an anonymous sex club (as Charlotte Rampling remarks 'This club provides intimacy without involvement') of busy high-powered executive men and women. One of his 'dates' is 'S' played by Susan Williams, and McQuarry falls in love (totally against club rules), and now he becomes the subject of a blackmail plot to move vast sums of money out of one of the companies he's auditing, with 'S' as a hostage. His friend Wyatt is not quite the man McQuarry thought. The trail of co-incidences stetches credulity too far, and the red herrings aren't really pink or fishlike. Too light for my taste. Rating: 5/10
