Leading Man
As opening night approaches, the theater world holds its breath. Now life begins to imitate art, and the lethal violence scripted to end the play may become all too real.
A brash young American, Robin Grange (Jon Bon Jovi), comes to London to star in a major new production - and becomes the central character in a mystery fueled by intrigue and passion. Celebrated playwright Felix Webb (Lambert Wilson) asks the charismatic leading man to seduce his wife, Helena (Anna Galiena), freeing Felix to carry on his illicit romance with beautiful actress Hilary Rule (Thandie Newton). But Robin soon reveals an ominous dark side, a fondness for firearms, and a taste for other men's women. Now playwright and actor are locked in a bitterly personal two-man show, which threatens to explode in a deadly climax.

Dark, well made movie - Welshie
Loved this movie! Its very British, in that its understated with a dark undercurrent of humour running through it - was actually very very funny, in a sick kind of way. The cast was really excellent - including, much to my surprise, Jon Bon Jovi, who really held his own here. Lambert Wilson was also fantastic as the other lead role. Definitely worth a shot!
