Pretty accurate portryal of Wst. Sd. L.A. young,rich,sexy early 80s. Rachael Ward is natural beauty(if your lucky film will remind you of a past romance!) Must see movie, moves slow and a weak script but just enjoy the scenary, music, and a good Sunset Blvd (great road) car race

Thank you Blockbuster for having this movie available. I had only seen it once and it's never on TV. Can't find it in any video rental places. I really, really liked this movie.

I loved this movie in the 80s and still love it 20+ years later. It has a great plot full of twists and turns and great characters you will love to hate. Jeff Bridges and James Woods deliver really good acting and some pretty clever lines even for today's standards. I wanted to see more love scenes though...Jeff Bridges is hot, damn it!

I rented this expecting to get a romantic movie, but it tried way too hard to be a suspence/thriller film. The pace of the film is slow and is about 20% romance and 80%(attempted) suspence/thriller. It is very unsuccessful at pulling off either of those qualities. I really, really try to be objective and hate giving poor reviews, but this movie was very disappointing. The plot and acting is reminiscent of day time soap opera dramas. The "Against All Odds" song is about the only good thing that came out of this movie. The music they used to in order to play up the tension/suspence was shrilling guitar cords and saxophones. If you're not convinced that you should not waste your time on this movie, just remember that poor movie choices lead to dull evenings and renter's remorse.

This is an outstanding movie with an equally impressive soundtrack. Definitely an evening well spent, a memorable movie.

Tries to be a suspense movie but never quite makes it. Even the romantic angle of the movie comes up short. Though it is probably one of Jeff Daniel's best acting jobs, it is a vehicle with a flat tire.
