    ...enough twists and turns of plot to stay interesting throughout.

    The half-star is only awarded because director/co-writer John Dahl would later go on to much better things ("Red Rock West", "Last Seduction" et al...) but this film is incredibly predictable; and with her utterly flat performance, it is easy to see why Joanne Whaley has fallen off the radar completely. Val Kilmer is in his smug, bland, "Look-at-me...I'm Acting!" mode here and shows none of the chops that are on display in some of his better performances and although Val and Joanne are/were married they have about as much chemistry as a wet dishrag. Only a pre-"Reservoir Dogs" Michael Madsen is respectable here, though he's only on screen for less than a third of the film and his Edward Scisorhands hairdo is unintentionally laughable. Skip It!

    Yes   |   No

    This movie wasn't bad. It has good actors and the story line isn't bad. The backend of the movie seemed to be lacking. When it ended I was just hoping for more. It's worth a rent.
