Excellent movie!

I love this movie! Love the soundtrack too! The movie keeps you guessing until the end. One problem I have though is I'm obviously an idiot because the particular incident that that happened at the start of the movie didn't make sense with the ending. Shocking ending though that left me puzzled. Nicollette sheridan does a great job of acting in this film and you even get a tiny view of her boobs in a steamy love scene. Hamlin was also good and looked good! I'd recommend to everyone and the soundtrack is outstanding!! Nicollette really is an underrated actress! She really portrayed her character well and she is able to dig into my emotions, which is a sign of a good actress. I will watch the movie over and over! It's also fun 80s/90s nostalgia with all the sax music. The best thing about the movie is that it really keeps you guessing to the end, it never lets up.

Not bad but not great either

This is a pretty good movie if you like murder mysteries. Harry Hamlin does his usual good job at being the bad boy cop who does not have enough sense not to get involved with a suspect and the usual gratuitous sex was nice Ms Sheridan has the required nice Bod. And the Sax Soundtrack is familiar from the red shoes dairies movies. And it was not annoying. it surprised me at the end but I had figured it out or had a good ides about who did it. must not have been that hard to figure out if i got it right

If i wanted some mindless entertainment i would watch it again

Reminds me of a scab that looks worse than the wound underneath the ripped skin

There were a few good things about this crime/thriller made for TV film but the negatives outweigh the positives unfortunately. By that I mean that this 1990 period piece is very much dated by both the lame acting and the "trying way too hard" jazzy suspenseful music score in the background permeating throughout the entire film.

I actually started laughing when I saw Homicide Detective Nick Gentry exercising by punching away at a punching bag in his apartment flat then placing his bruised hand in a pitcher of ice water. Why was that funny? Well it is what he did after taking his hand out of the pitcher of ice water. The sweaty and shirtless Detective Gentry raised the pitcher of ice water and drank from it and then just as if from a scene from the 1983 film Flashdance the wet chair dance scene, he pours the water all over his head and shirtless chest. I will have to call this scene over the top and not fitting in with the story line at all.

Yes, a young Nicollette Sheridan in a skimpy bikini is easy on the eyes and worth a look at this made for TV film as is actor Robert Davi's performance as Harry Hamlin's detective partner. The story line of who killed Ms. Sheridan's wealthy husband is a bit of a head scratcher but the love/hate relationship between the two lead actors, namely Hamlin and Sheridan and that annoying jazz musical score I had enough after the first 20 minutes of the film.

I give the film a barely pass rating of 5 out of 10 IMDb rating.
