Pathetic. Go rent Compulsion, Rope and the last reel of Vertigo and you have seen this film.

(Though it did prod me and my movie going companion to come up with a rather interesting list of "sociopathic young adults try to commit the perfect crime" films, as we ate [no not caviar] after the movie.)

We didn't know what to expect when we picked this out at the local video store. (Darryl Hannah has been in a number of one note performance dogs lately, never quite meeting her initial promise of Splash, Wall Street, etc. Meg Tilly has always been a favorite since The Big Chill.) At any rate, Hannah gives a well rounded vengeful, captive/victim, much better than I would have thought, while Tilly out does herself (reminiscent, in a strange way, of Sally Struthers in the original The Getaway, just when you think she can't get any more unhinged ....).

The movie has enough twists and turns and Fargo-ish scenery (filmed in the Canadian great plains, I believe) to be interesting and banally frightening. Enjoy. It's worth it, for a rental. I'd give it a seven.
