I saw the high rating, read a couple of reviews and decided to spend my time watching this movie.
Needless to say, I feel compelled to warn other people that this film is so overrated and has so many 'what the heck?' moments that you walk out completely baffled.
Predictable - Could the fortune teller draw any more cards with swords? Illogical - What's with the nickle-and-diming for sex? Especially in NY! Plain stupid - I doubt a good looking girl will try to hold a 'the meaning of life' conversation with a guy she just met holding a knife. Nonsense - For someone other than a tourist to fall for Three-card Monte is plain ridiculous.
No doubt that Macy is always excellent and any screen time with Julia Stiles is a bonus, but this movie is just too far fetched.
Save yourself some time and money and avoid this movie. If you want a bunch of psychobabble and a predictable storyline then go ahead and watch this movie.
