La garce

Loved this film. The best part about it was the performance by Kenneth M. Quinn who played a small, but memorable cameo as the F.B.I. Man. Riveting performance, and also one very cool, sexy actor. A must see film if you haven't done so already.

No pun intended - I have already wrote elsewhere that Madchen is german for girl. But in this case, I am talking more about the relationships she has in this movie. Can you really control or call her yours? Generally speaking that is something I would not want to do and say about anyone - even more so when it comes to her.

There are enough twists and turns - to keep you occupied. And Eric Roberts is on top form. We know he is a good actor, but he has been calling it in lately. Well at least it looked like it. Which makes sense, if you are making 20 movies a year - I am exaggerating here of course. Just saying - anyway let's focus on the positive. He really is great in this - as are the others.

Reno Adams (Eric Roberts) escapes from prison with his cellmate Billy Quayle (Richard Edson). He's tracking down his wife Lauren (Mädchen Amick) who set him up to go to prison for 7 years. She is now married to successful banker Paul Harrington (John Lithgow). Paul doesn't know of her past and Reno claims to be her brother. Meanwhile Paul discovers money laundering in his bank. Reno steals Paul's safe and Lauren blames it on kids.

This is trying hard to be a hard-boiled erotic crime thriller. The problem is that writer/director William Curran doesn't have the skills to pull it off. It's like he watched too many old movies and decided to put every cliché into this movie. There is no rooting interest in any of the characters. The movie doesn't take a break from the style. The production looks like a late night TV movie. The best thing is the great cast of actors. They put the material to work but the movie just lacks tension.

Damn, this is the 2nd movie of madchen that she did Con wife or double crossing wife in a YEAR. another movie is " dream lover" . she was true pretty woman in 90s and still is.

anyhow, movie is good. with lots of suspense and thrill. and i really wished that there would be part 2 of this movie. but there is none. because the End was like " oh yeah , there will be next part of this movie".

Oh, please. Spent one boring afternoon with this one. The plot is just a bit more than a Tom_&_Jerry_run'n_chase comic, ah yes, with some mild nudity, which makes the flick 'not for kids'. So who's gonna see this? So impossible to engage oneself to the story. Keep away from this. With a bit more of 'hardcore' element and dirty adult scenes, this just might have made it as a porn flick.
