In this urban comedy, a life-loving female professional meets a good-looking man while jogging one day and falls in love. She decides to give him the key to her lovely, well-appointed apartment. One day, after they have a tremendous fight, she returns home to find that her lover has totally ransacked her apartment. Now the woman must find the man, and her missing personal items. Strangely, everyone she meets on her journey has illegally purchased one of her belongings. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
Hexed is a lame, low-budget comedy spoof of Basic Instinct and Fatal Attraction -- both of which are funnier than Hexed. The film concerns Matthew Welsh (Ayres Gross), a scheming hotel clerk at the Holiday Park Hotel whose life changes for better and worse when famed super-model Hexina (Claudia Christian) checks into the hotel. Matthew manages to lure Hexina back to his apartment for what he thinks will be an uninhibited night of sex -- but Hexina has other things on her mind. It turns out that she is being blackmailed over a series of murders committed in her youth when she was fat and dumpy. Hexina, whose psychological profile hasn't changed since she began to grace fashion-magazine covers, is still a raving paranoid schizophrenic who thinks that Matthew is her blackmailer. So, she acquiesces to bed down Matthew in anticipation of murdering him in the afterglow. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

This moderately interesting actioner stars Fred Williamson (who also directed) as John Steele, a Chicago detective who travels to Dallas. His mission is to catch a lunatic assassin named Joe Keno (Doran Inghram), who sports a ponytail and uses a sword to kill. Steele's girlfriend (Phyllis Cicero) gets raped and murdered before having her head sent to him in a box, there is some kickboxing and Gulf War propaganda, and Bo Svenson appears as a tough-as-nails sheriff. ~ Robert Firsching, All Movie Guide
