I had a vague memory of this film from my childhood and it was a lot of fun to revisit it a couple of decades later. It has a bizarre aesthetic and some seriously wooden acting (particularly in the early scenes), but once Phil Collins enters the action, the film hits its sweet spot in the second act before going off the rails towards the end. The characters all make weird, bonehead decisions, which is infuriating because the end product could have been so much better. Still, I enjoyed the brazen bizarreness of it all and for originality alone it scores in the positive. Incidentally you can (at the time of writing this review) watch it for free on YouTube.

I watched this movie late one night on TV when i had nothing else to do..The character of Phil Collins is particularly interesting as the enigmatic insurance investigator who keeps tormenting his clients just because of the outcome of a roll of dice! It was the ending that made me want to find out more about this movie..Hugo Weaving is amazing too.. Some things to look forward to are... interesting sets like Roland's home, a good story, good acting and a completely bizarre ending.This movie is not for children. Watch it if you are bored of traditional movies.It's in the league of The Cell or The Fall.It's indeed a very unique and strange movie but remember don't watch this when high...

"Frauds" is a well acted, weirdly entertaining sadistic fun house ride. Phil Collins, who quite frankly can quickly wear thin, uses that annoyance to full advantage while putting the squeeze on husband and wife Hugo Weaving and Josephine Byrnes. Insurance fraud leads to blackmail and a living nightmare in the form of insurance investigator, Collins. The most intriguing part of "Frauds" is most definitely Collins's neon lit fun house where he resides. That imaginative set piece drives this film. If only it had concluded in a more satisfying manner. The resolution is indeed the weakest part of an otherwise winning movie. - MERK
