Tiptoes is a 2003 film starring Kate Beckinsale, Gary Oldman and Matthew McConaughey. It's...very...um...interesting. I don't want to say too much about the plot, but suffice it to say that this is not your usual Hollywood pablum. The acting is mostly excellent, except for McConaughey, who absolutely phoned this one in. Beckinsale is better than you'd expect from eye-candy and Oldman delivers a top-notch, absolutely believabe performance. Also features Patricia Arquette and Peter Dinklage as a Marxist biker. Watching him chewing up the scenery is one of the highlights of this film.
This movie is one of those that's well worth seeing once, but ultimately is only interesting for its subject matter, and for Peter Dinklage's scene stealing. (BTW, if you know who Dinklage is, then you have an idea what the subject is.) If McConaughey had given a better effort, this could have been a very good film, but he didn't and the film suffers for it.
