    Surprisingly good.

    Surprisingly good: script with twist (true suspense), good acting by C.Thomas & Joan Severence. Direction was particularly good.

    Even its low budget B movie . but still its good .... Joan is so damn fine woman of 90s.

    A good movie with some really good performance of all main lead characters.

    movie has simple story , but it gets more exciting later in the end because of really surprising twist and turns. But i really dont like the ending. as its not very satisfying.

    Joan performance is brilliant in this one, even her role is Alluring wife even she is wearing boring waitresses dress all the time but still she has some really sexy and seductive attraction. and damn that sex scene on top of the car's bonnet is soo amazing. i really wished there would be more scenes like that.

    Worth the Price of Admission!

    Take this one home on your next visit to the Video Store. If you are offended by "hot sex", you may reconsider, but the drama is excellent, and unlike a lot of films, the ending does not drag on. It is exciting, and appropriately concise.

    After seeing this, I'm looking out for more Joan Severance flicks!

    Where's Mel Gibson??

    Oh wait, wrong movie. He's not needed here tho. This is an above average movie. Joan Severance should be a much bigger star than she is. Why isn't she? She's completely gorgeous and can act. This movie has a few surprises here and there. Nothing mindblowing or completely out of the blue. But definitely worth watching the next time it comes on cinemax.
