The whole setup was fantastic. The twist was awesome.
Then there was the ending....oh the ending.... SMDH.
Ruined an otherwise great movie.

Too many plot twists in this 2002 thriller.
The All American Guy returns home after touring Europe. He has graduated from Harvard but sure does not act like a Harvard graduate.
His verbally and mentally abusive father has remarried. The son is bitter by the fact that the father showed no attention to his ex-wife during her final illness. In addition, dad has married quite a beauty who is much younger. This beauty has quite an abusive past herself. You know what that leads to so why bother to explain the point further.
Dad's is murdered and you begin to wonder, who did the 50 year old in? The plot goes through too many turns and it turns out that everyone is suspect with two people in cahoots together. You'd never expect them to do dad in.
Anyway, since everyone should have a plan, your plan should be to avoid this confusing mess. I will say-Did the police ever fall in!

I was not sure what to think of the recent Harvard graduate Holden Price (Andrew W. Walker) when he came home to visit his multi-millionaire father, Mason Price (Winston Rekert), but just quick as the few bucks I have disappear from my pocket, even quicker does young Holden fall prey to his fathers abusive ways once again. To comfort Holden is his new stepmom, the much younger redheaded Lana (Angie Everhart) who quickly bond and are sympathetic with one another's plight as they struggle with each of their personal relationships with Mason Price.
Mason is a multi millionaire who likes to control both his son and his much younger bride. When Holden comes home one night and finds his father dead cold on the floor he calls the police and quickly becomes the police's prime suspect.
So we are left to try and solve this murderous puzzle with a number of potential suspects. After some twists and turns we discover who is responsible for the murder of the control freak multi millionaire Mason Price.
The second half of the film influenced me to increase my IMDB rating from a 5 to 6 and the ending was worth waiting for. It's a decent suspense/crime film that you may not see the ending coming. I confess, I was pleasantly surprised by the ending and maybe you will be also.

OK So I saw this movie because Angie Everhart was in it. A lot of others did too. I rented this movie with Unrated on the DVD case. What a bunch of crap! If this movie was unrated, yeah maybe for language or some stupid reason other wise. I mean, for crying out for a good naughty scene. You could have aired this movie on FOX and no one would have thought any different. I've seen better adult scenes on Fastlane, that's how bad this movie dragged you in. So the story, good idea "Needing someone to take the blame." The ending is expected as you will see when you watch Wicked Minds. I do like the movie for the story so I gave it 3 stars, but I actually wanted to see Angie and the movie just didn't come through. Rent this movie for the story, wanna see Angie don't rent this one rent "Bare Witness."
This is not a very good movie and I don't recommend it for those of you who aren't dedicated Andrew Walker fans. If you for any reason still want to see it you'll probably survive, but you'll never be able to make up for the lost hour and a half.
Andrew Walker is very cute and sure there is a twist, but since you now know there is a twist you'll be looking for it and then it's not that surprising. Note this is a standard thriller made for TV.
The music in this movie sets the tone like it should, but also reveals when something isn't right - a good tool when figuring out the plot in advance.

The step mother's story about coming from okeechobee florida is pretty far fetched because its at least a hundred miles from the everglades, well south of lake okeechobee ... all the love scenes with angie everhart were pretty bland and done with clothing on, so much for seeing any skin from this alleged red headed beauty ... one of the reviewers said it wasn't worth the waste of 90 minutes and i agree with that

Holden Pryce (Andrew W. Walker) is running for his life from a gun-person. One day earlier, he's being interrogated by the police. He's been estranged from his wealthy father since the death of his mother. Nevertheless, his father has always paid the bills including Harvard. He accepts his father's invitation to come home and is shocked to find his father married to Lana (Angie Everhart).
I like some of the noir elements. The actors are strictly B-movie level and that is probably its main flaw. Angie Everhart has the model body, but she's not a great actress. Andrew W. Walker is fine, but his character needs more innocence. This is a TV movie that is stuck in TV B-movie level.

This TV film was great, it had lots of romance, mystery and the story kept me guessing right to the very end. Angie Everhart,(Lana),"Bare Witness",'02, married a very very rich older man and kept him very busy in bed much to his delight. However, the rich man's son returns from Harvard and accidentally walks into her bathroom while she is in her birth day suit and from then on, sparks seem to fly and the plot takes off in more ways than one. Andrew W. Walker,(Holden),"The Secret Pact",'99, is the rich man's son and after staying around the mansion for a while and getting to really know his father, he finds out his father has some very horrible and mysterious hang ups. You will find this film very hard to figure out and it is a very well produced film to enjoy.
Is this a super high-quality film? Absolutely not. Does it have the best actors in the world? Definitely not. But if you a fan of thrillers with lots of twists and turns, you will enjoy this movie! I will not give anything away, because I wouldn't want to ruin it for anybody, but there are a lot of things that happen that are unexpected and the plot was written quite well. As long as you go in not expecting it to be a masterpiece and just enjoy it for what it is, you won't regret it, especially if you like thrillers and whodunits. Also the end is wrapped up very nicely, which doesn't happen a lot in thrillers, especially more recent ones. Obviously this one's several years old, but I really enjoyed it! It was a really fun one to watch! Give it a chance!.
Pretty good thriller turned murder mystery movie. It was pretty predictable in some areas, but what movies aren't? It was done in a way that made me care about the characters and the story. The acting was even better than I could have hoped for in this kind of movie. Andrew W. Walker and Amy Sloan both provided excellent performances. Winston Rekert made his character, the rich, protective father, come alive. Even Angie Everhart pulled off a convincing act.
My only real complaint on the movie is it had about one or two plot twists too many. Otherwise the story seemed to make sense to me, and I enjoyed it.
7 of 10 stars.

Angie Everheart plays a hot step-mom married to a guy just for his money,, no big deal happens every day,, this guy does treat her like crap no surprise there ,, the dad wants his son to be part of the business,, the son rebels says no,, is introduced to his step mom,, but he first sees her in the shower ,, how awkward is that,, well he falls for her and the two go at it quite often together, as she is barely a few years older than him,, they go to a bar get drunk and so on,, it seems that the dad knows she's cheating but too stupid too see that it is his own son. you would think you would know what happens next .. wrong,, this movie has all kinds of twists and turns, and frankly you won't see all of them coming at once. so without giving anything away i would say that the average viewer will enjoy this as a mystery, thriller type movie,, and don't judge it on morals or anything like that and you should be just fine,, the sex seens are steamy,, especially for lifetime movie network,, but hey a little sex never hurt nobody.
