Due mostly to the casting and the boring script. Rick King, the director, must have been in a coma to hire some of these non actor types. Namely Chelsea Field and Scott Bakula. Both to this viewer should get out of the business. Bakula goes around with a lame less expression of stupidity most of the time. Whats the big deal about this actor? And his other half, Field, does not come off as any beauty to fight over. A rather overweight bit of fluff that at times is embarrassing to watch. Shelia Kelley is good, but wasted in this as are Rex Smith (wonderful in PIRATES OF PENZANCE) John Getz and France Nuyen (good to see her again). As I said they all were wasted with most of the shots and scenes were of Bakula and Field. Mr. King, you should be ashamed of yourself. To cast those two losers.

Typical suspense thriller that has its share of deviant dealings and heated passion as Scott Bakula becomes obsessed with his friend's (John Getz) wife (Chelsea Field) and soon a torrid affair starts with Field slowly taking control of Bakula's life. Old hat late-night cable fare all the way as the movie is so silly that it almost knows just how contrived and mediocre it is. Bakula seemed to really be going into limbo during this time period as he tried unsuccessfully to make it big in movie houses after his run on "Quantum Leap" was completed (he also starred in the stinker "Color of Night" in 1994). If nothing else though this picture brought Bakula and Field together in real life and their marriage is still ongoing. Turkey (0 stars out of 5).

Plot sound bland: Guy falls in love with friend's wife, then friend got murdered, evidence points to wife, yadda yadda yadda. But wait. Once it gets to the second half, instead of delving into a slasher cliche, it later became clear to guy: that nothing is and never was and the line between good and evil blurred. Viewers should realised there is no real villains in the end, just victims left to the society who feels no mercy to any criminals, no matter how sad their lives were in the beginning. We used to be this child, so pure and innocent like a clean cloth, only to be tainted bit by bit by life's difficulties and our inner demons. There is so many other meanings found underneath this movie's erotic thriller exterior and the ending is haunting enough to remind us of this, that many should watch it again and again. It's unfortunate that this movie was buried along with other B-grade erotic thrillers. Hopefully, some filmmaker might pick this material up and turn it into something more deserving.
