Don't listen to the negative reviews

Crappy film

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

A very Alfred Hitchcock like thriller. Set in Baltimore, Maryland, there you have an employee of a construction company who has a fling with the boss's wife. A crime is witnessed by the wife, and the worker takes the credit. But there's more. The same assailant found another victim, and kills her. Since now his idea is in jeopardy, he must find a way to fix it. Steve Guttenberg, whose fame spreads from "Police Academy", "Cocoon", and "Short Circuit" , plays Terry, the coworker of a construction company who has spent the night with his boss's wife, Sylvia, who comes to his apartment drunk. During the night, an assault a female is occurring, and the wife witnessed it. So Terry decides to take action, and call the police the next day. Though the credibility of the situation is shaky, he was able to stop the bad guy. This movie is like Swiss cheese: Full of holes. Some parts of the movie were weak, and a bit on the slow side. It was subtle. It needed a little more impact. Okay for me to say about it. Got to be a better witness to the crime is what I have to say.

I came across this movie on YouTube, and decided to give it a look. I firmly believed that this would be one of those good bad movies, which are corny but harmless fun movies to watch. But boy was I surprised.The best thing about this movie, despite Steve Guttenberg and his lack of acting, and few loopholes, is that it keeps you absolutely hooked, from the start to the finish. Everyone else does their part well, but Brad Greenquist is absolutely brilliant. I loved Elizabeth McGovern as well, who did a good job with her character. She also gives strong Audrey Horne vibes.Overall, it feels like a Alfred Hitchcock movie, and that in itself is a huge compliment.

This thriller would have made a great Hitchcock movie. As it stands, it's not too bad but it could have been so much better. However, any film that can engage the attention for nearly two hours must have something going for it and this does have an intriguing story line. It also has the advantage of a good cast, Steve Guttenberg is his usual affable self doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, Elizabeth McGovern brings a wonderful hard edge to her performance and Isabelle Huppert is beautiful but nasty. Brad Greenquist manages to imbue his role with a sinister quality without saying barely a word. The plot doesn't really hold up unfortunately and there are plenty of scenes that stretch credulity just too far. However if you are prepared to accept the film on just a surface level you will find yourself nicely entertained.

Steve Guttenberg, (Terry Lambert) plays the role as a guy who gets himself involved with a sexual romance with his boss's wife and while they are making out in bed, there is a scream from a woman outside their window. The woman goes to the window naked and observes a woman being attacked and identifies the rapist and tells her lover all about it. Terry decides to report the incident to the police and says that he observed the entire sexual assault because he doesn't want his boss to find out about his affair with his wife. Elizabeth McGovern, (Denise) is the woman who is attacked and she gets herself deeply involved with Terry Lambert and she even goes to bed with him. There is plenty of twists and turns to this mystery and I cannot go into more details without giving away some very dark secrets to this film. This is a good film and well worth spending your time to watch. Enjoy.
