Fatal bond

Even without the ending you can see a mile away, the boyfriend is an AWFUL person, and his girlfriend Lee (played by Linda Blair) is an utterly moronic, codependent doormat. Lee sees blaring red warning signs in literally the first minute she meets him, but she's apparently so desperate for a man that nothing matters even as he gets worse and worse and it gets to the point where she questions his guilt and she acts in an unlawful way to help him. There's NO explanation for her stupidity or her willingness to stay, as there is no character development whatsoever. Even the final choice in the movie is utterly selfish and possibly unlawful, hinting that the lack of character development is absolute. I don't know if this was Linda Blair trying to distance herself from being a child actor, but that's what the film came across as given the utter lack of depth to her character and the fact she just wants to keep having sex (he's a "minute man," btw, so what's all the fuss?) with her selfish, cheating, criminal boyfriend she suspects of being a serial killer. AND there is NO justification for her to give up her life and her business (!!!) and claim to love him--she even claims it right after saying that she doesn't know anything about him and his family! Good grief!

This movie irritated me. Everything about it was unpleasant and dumb. If you want to watch a film about how stupid women met obvious red flags before the existence of dating apps (I imagine she met him through the MadTV tape dating service, Lowered Expectations), then this is the film for you!

S/N: He keeps littering with gusto throughout the film, usually alcohol-based containers like bottles and cans, even off of her apartment balcony. That's annoying enough to be a red flag that he's an inconsiderate slob.

I wanted to see what became of Linda Blair. Everybody of my age (born in 1963) knows her for we know what. In here she is at the height of her beauty around age 30. But only her cute face and body worth the watch.

This is a VERY cheap production. The filming, the sound is annoying with always either some back ground noises or the cheap music score in almost every scene. Unwatchable!

And the plot. At the very beginning she sees a violent man, protect him from the bouncers, hop in his car right away, make love with him withing five minutes, moves in with him the very same day, stayed with him even if he is violent and maybe a killer... Wow!

Won't tell you what happens after. But be prepared for a cheap production and it's hard to stay all the way until the end.

For die-hard Linda Blair's fan only to see what she can do 15 years after the only movie she will be remembered for...

I love this movie. I saw it a few years ago on cable. What could be better than Linda Blair in Australia trying to learn Italian while she is dating a hot dark-haired guy? There is something for everyone here: hot scenes of both Linda Blair and Jerome Ehlers (the male lead), nice scenery of Australia, and a sense of mystery. I think overall what helps the movie is the cinematography. Try catching it on cable.

At least be honest. You say it's not worth watching but it is, to you because you know Linda will disrobe. It's a lot like when guys call a girl fat, even though they secretly think she is curvaceous but they want to psych the girl into believing she is unattractive, so they can convince all women not to eat, so they look so emaciated. Them the guys convince the girls that emaciated is attractive, all, so of they get rejected by the emaciated girl, they won't feel as rejected, because, secretly, no guy thinks that emaciated is attractive. So, girls, next time a guy calls you fat or a cow, know that they secretly think they would like to see your body type on their favorite downloading site.(You know what that means), and then reject the guy. Watch him have a breakdown. This will prove that fat is the new curvaceous. So is cow. Also, in this world of games, if awards are given to every woman in a skin flick, but one, that one is the guys' favorite. All the aforementioned info applies. In a nutshell, all guys like this movie; especially, if they are Linda Blair fans. And the reason is obvious. They say Linda is fat, in this movie, but they don't think it. And they look forward to seeing proof; movie plot, aside. However, the end of the movie suggests that her latter movies are not that good.

This Australian movie is up there with Red Rock West as one of the best thrillers I've seen. It has a great anti hero (Jerome Elhers) who like Nick Cage has a great edgy screen presence. This is the best film Linda Blair has been in since The Exorcist. She captures the character of the girl enraptured in this man on the run from something he won't reveal. A great film, highly recommended.
