Corky Withers is the quiet type, a man of much talent, and of less patience, not to mention the protagonist of this film. His counterpart is Fats, the puppet who is controlled by the hand of Corky, but one could say Fats in fact, controls Corky. With how quickly the time lapses run through you're bound to lose your place or become confused but despite this you also get a very vivid image of how quickly Corky's sanity is slipping. Little by little he is pushed and tormented by fats, to do things he wishes not to do. Just how easy is it to upset this puppet and what dire consequences does this hold for Corky? Anthony Hopkins did an outstanding job portraying Corky Withers/Fats and i have to admit i didn't know he was portraying both. I'm not really sure why Ann Margret was in this movie, my guess is she was a filler, anyways Corky tapped that and Fats never liked her to begin with. All in all a very nicely made film with many unexpected laughs along its way.

Warning: Spoilers
5 adulterous men share a loft to do whatever they please at any given time without their significant others catching on. Its fun at first but somewhere along the way complications arise. Loft has quite a lot going for it. It has suspense, drama and enough twists and turns to keep it's viewers watching. Time lapses are nicely done and add to the suspense of the film. The acting is convincing enough to make you either dislike or sympathize with the characters. Set within the world of high earning architects, Loft is stylishly shot and very well photographed. As you keep watching you get to see just how deceitful and nasty some of the characters can get, and with a mixture of whores, manhood and lies, you probably don't want to miss out on this little gem of a film.
