    I thought it ws a tense, exciting movie that held my interest all the way through. Was not a great fan of Don Johnson but I thought he was excellent in this. Rebecca De Mornay of course was good as usual. Really liked this.

    This film was superficial at best but nevertheless interesting in its own way...this is the first time I've seen Don Johnson play the baddee and he did it well...Rebecca De Mornay does equally a good job in her role.. however the film lacks a certain conviction in the motivation arena... it's all too slick to be believable and would never really happen..so it's pure fantasy and so it goes...at least 21/2 stars for the fantasy...

    A really mediocre film. Predictable story line leave no suspense. De Mornay does only a fair job and Don Johnson acts like he's in the grade-school talent contest. If you like DeMornay, rent "The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" instead.
