    I thought this movie was GREAT!!!!! Sean Young & James Woods acting is superb!!! Its about the downward spiral of a couples relationship as they become addict to coke and other assorted drugs. Its not a happy ending movie either. Very gripping and a definite eye opener to any couple who have or had problems with drugs. Its about success & loss, love & hate, commitment & failure!!! This movie is worth the watch.

    If it weren't for the brief nudity...the acting, script, storyline, and soundtrack could be found on the Lifetime channel as a made-for-tv movie. The "bonus" deleted scenes literally look like they were found in a trash can, and thrown on the DVD without any effort. One of James Woods worst movies.
