Movie Info

A woman's infidelity leads her into a web of larceny and danger in this noir-flavored independent thriller. Mia DuBois (Monica Calhoun) is a psychologist who until recently worked with the police department, counseling the survivors of victims of violent crime. While Mia has entered into a successful private practice, she's persuaded by her former colleagues to take on new client, Tammy (Chrystale Wilson), who is still dealing with the recent murder of her husband. As Mia helps Tammy with her problems, Mia finds herself thinking about her own marriage to Victor (Kristoff St. John), which has hardly been happy lately. As Mia begins wondering if she has other options, she visits a mysterious nightclub, Pandora's Box, where she meets the sexy and mysterious Hampton (Michael Jai White). Mia soon begins having an affair with Hampton, unaware that Hampton is actually working with Victor and Tammy; Mia is soon to inherit $20 million, and Victor is determined to get his hands on the money. Hampton soon shifts his alliances to stay with Mia, but Victor and Tammy are not giving up their shares of the fortune quite so easily. Pandora's Box also features former teen heartthrob Joey Lawrence in a supporting role.

Critic Reviews for Trois 2: Pandora's Box

All Critics (4) | Top Critics (3) | Rotten (4)

This first scene doesn't promise much beyond fevered sex, a murder mystery and befuddling behavior.

What sounds like a David Lynch movie plays like soft-core porn.

Top Critic
Sleep-inducing from its threadbare plot to the stagy sex scenes that are its sole reason for existing, it plays more like the detritus banished to the hinterlands of late-night cable television.

You want mild sexiness and an instantaneous desire to fall asleep? Try Trois 2.
