Flirt mit dem Tod - Eine gnadenlose Affäre

As far as Im concerned - a good movie allows time to fly and takes me off to another world - for 90 minutes or so. This film worked. It wasn't great, it didn't carry any deep meaning, the ending wasn't a great surprise BUT it was well directed and edited, it didn't have any gaping holes and it flowed well. I thought it was the perfect length and had a few twists to keep the audience guessing a little. - In short, a good, entertaining film, in a similar genre as "The hand that rocks the cradle". Highly recommended.

Adrienne Welles is an attractive society woman who does nothing but support charitable causes. Her husband Richard apparently finds her cold and is carrying on with Laura a phone sex operator whose conversations he tapes. Adrienne overhears one of the conversations, then discovers the tapes.

Her husband goes missing and the last tape has the Laura wanting Richard to guess where she is, Richard being surprised and then hit by something. There's no "bloodcurdling scream" as the video box states, just a "no!" You're really slow if you can't figure out what happened just from hearing that tape.

Adrienne is really slow. She goes to the police, but then decides not to tell them about the tape. A PI at the station overhears her and wants to help. He's really slow too. Adrienne finds Laura without the PI, unlike what the box says. There's not really "a seamy underworld of fatal attractions and deadly connections" either.

Not recommended unless you like any of the cast.
