A good "who done it film".

This film is a very good suspense story.The acting was excellent,especially John Beck and Doyle McCurley.

A great who done it!

I saw this on a movie channel on one of those days that nothing else was on t.v. I was really surprised! This a great who done it! Even after I saw it the first time, and knew how it ended, I still enjoy it.

Though none of the people are marquee property, the acting is top notch! Part of the problem is the movie was billed as a love story between Mia Sara, and Steven Bauer. So, I guess people walked of the theater disappointed, so that's why it didn't go anywhere.

If you like a good murder mystery, give this one a chance!

A slow-burner, excellent movie

If only all B-movies were this good, we'd all be insomniacs. This is a movie that takes its own sweet time, instead of rushing it moves with a measured grace through its scenes. There's nothing flash, nothing fancy, just people being people. Cinematic clichés, like the Sheriff's daughter's hick dumb bully former husband, are nodded to but not allowed to dominate proceedings. It's like that character in particular is bought in just as if to illustrate to the viewer that while this was a movie well aware of what was expected of it, it damn well wasn't going to go there. Different, individual, this is a class act all the way through.

aka ' A Row of Crows' in the uk

I really enjoy this film as its the kind of film I like where the pieces are gradually put together to reveal the answers but most of all I love the sound of the atmospheric music which is used and it always makes me mad when some twit of a continuity announcer talks over the end credits and the great music whenever it is shown on tv, which is an increasing tendency these days and has me spitting blood many a time. It should be banned and subject to a hefty fine every time its done. I feel better now I've got that off my chest:-)

not so great

I live in Yuma, Arizona, where much of the movie was filmed. It was a thrill to have a production here, and the premier packed in a crowd (including myself) at an older downtown theater. A friend had a role as an extra, and enjoyed the experience. But the first scene contained unnecessary violence, and later came a very brief but equally unnecessary graphic sex episode. Although several notable locals including a former county sheriff had bit parts, it was very quiet after the premier showing. I think most people were embarrassed. That's what we get for living in a backwater, fit for the straight-to-video market. The title montage was well done, with the dramatic approach of a summer dust storm that captured local flavor.
