Possible Spoilers Ahead!!Where shall we start? Take every possible cliche that you can think of and add a pinch of hack dialog, stir in average acting (with the exception of the usually entertaining Gary Busey)and you have this potpourri of garbage. To top it all off you can include an actress that is "supposed" to be 18 who looks much older (Shades of Beverly Hills 90210). All of the characters' behaviors run the gamut from ridiculous (throwing a party and allowing the person who has been threatening you to attend without giving it a second thought) to reprehensible. There are no characters that are even mildly likeable, which renders this exercise in film futility a complete waste of time. Please save 90 minutes of your life that would be better spent watching your grass grow.
This movie kept my interest till the end,more than most Canadian movies which tend to be mediocre.The acting,though was sub standard.Overall, a good popcorn home video for Saturday night.If I wasn't interested in "who done it" I would have turned it off because of the bad acting!!
I loved this movie, I gave it a 10. I thought it was filmed well, very beautiful colors in the movie, especially the rain and the trees. I thought that the plot was WONDERFUL, the acting was good. I thought this movie was going to be bad, because it was on HBO late at night. But I was wrong, I watched this one twice. Has enough thrills and action to keep you watching, and also the acting was not what you would expect!
Here's a familiar theme: an older physician has an affair with a young beauty while his wife is pregnant. She is murdered. He's now a suspect. Her parent's are good friends of his. They can't know what happened. Oh dear! She took a video of him after the act. He's gotta get his hands on it!Even though her ex-boyfriend was stalking her before the murder, no-one suspects him! Incredible! They all suspect the NEW mysterious lover, but they don't know his identity. Oooh!Alright, aside from a very predictable plot and a theme that has received overkill from Hollywood, it's an alright flick to watch if there's nothing else good on t.v.
