- Hilariously bad
I just saw about an hour of this movie on TV and man is it awful. It was so bad I literally had tears coming out of my eyes from laughing so hard. From what I could gather, an attorney (Corbin Bernsen?) was having an affair. His wife catches him in the act and threatens to shoot him. The gun accidentally discharges, killing his wife, but Bernsen has no clue she's been shot. He keeps screaming something to the effect of "What's that look for?! What are you trying to tell me?!" (She's been shot genius) Bernsen and this woman proceed to bury his wife, and it just gets weirder from there.

Most of the movie's humor comes from Bernsen's over the top acting as he screams and bumbles his way through the script's cliché dialogue. If you want to laugh, rent this dud of a movie.

- Waste of 100 minutes
Wow. Hard to find words to describe this movie. Wow. It was bad. Off the wall plot. Just a little bit far-fetched. The camera man forgot to come in when they filmed this. Seems like they threw up a camera and hoped to catch as much of the movie as possible. Everyone else was grasping but not touching anything, except for eachother. I have to say though, it was bad enough to laugh about.

I took a chance on this because I enjoy Jayne Heitmeyer in Earth: Final Conflict. She, Robert Vaughn, and Maryam D'Abo all do credible jobs acting in this movie, but their acting and some gorgeous outdoor shots are not enough to save it. (Note that Corbin Bernsen as the main character did not make the "credible acting" list--I haven't seen one man hit himself about the face and head so much since the Three Stooges, but I digress.)

The story is set in Boston. You can tell this if you watch closely because there's a half-hidden Boston Police patch and one Massachusetts license plate. Otherwise, it seems pretty clear that everything takes place in Canada. No offense to our friends to the North, but the film comes off as, well, Canadian--which is to say that several scenes are reminiscent of a "Kids in the Hall" episode, only not funny.

For a film described as a sexual thriller, there is a startling ... Read More
