Three stars

Twin Falls Idaho

(Columbia TriStar)

This eerie, uneven debut film by identical twins Mark and Michael Polish has them playing Siamese twins Blake (Mark) and Francis (Michael) Falls, who, holed up in a dingy hotel room on Manhattan's Idaho Avenue, they've decided to celebrate their 27th birthday with a prostitute (Michele Hicks, doing little with the heart-of-gold cliché in an insipid performance). The movie whispers too much, but it does suggest a metaphor for our universal fate: the search for wholeness.
