If you are a Gina Gershon's fan this is the movie for you. The film tries to hard, you are never disappointed when Ms Gershon on screen.No one plays crazy/troubled like Ms Gershon, with the exception of Ms Leigh. I forget the author, he once stated you can pick the best actor or supporting actor performance for the Oscars, you are always wondering what they are doing off screen. This movie by any standard is not Oscar worthy, but you do wonder what Ms Version is doing off screen.The supporting cast is adequate, it is Ms Gershon performance which stands above. Rory Cochrane is pedestrian and his character as the naive innocent rookie is standard, actually caring for him: you don't. Ron Silver: you seen one performance you seen them all. Alison Eastwood: I keep waiting for the one performance to separate her from other actresses, this is not the role or performance.The plot: A naive man becomes involved with a trouble exciting woman.Similar movies: Body Heat meets Basic instinct.Worth a late night.

There are a couple of good things about this thoroughly routine cop mystery. Some of the performances are really pretty polished but they mostly come from actors in minor parts, such as Ron Silver and James Handy. And Silver looks great. His hair is combed back and up in what might be called a long brush cut. He's given a slight beard and mustache and a pair of rimless glasses which turns him into -- believe it or not -- a youngish Wolf Blitzer. None of the other performances are less than adequate with the possible exception of Allison Eastwood's, although she's certainly a beautiful woman. Painful to think that we may have lived through almost her entire film career, from "Tightrope," when she was eleven, through such highlights as "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," to this.The plot's ordinary. One of the cops is shooting people through the eyeball for reasons no one can quite figure out. All they know is that it's a cop. Suspicion falls on one guy, then shifts to Gina Gershon, then shifts to -- well, enough. The last few minutes turn things around in a strictly predictable way.The photography is cheap-looking and nothing is made of the location so there is nothing in the way of local color. The script is meant to be dramatic rather than humorous but sometimes it sounds as if the writers' naturally occurring sense of the sardonic could no longer be repressed. Discussing some sort of perversion, one cop remarks: "So what? Sex is legal in this state. A couple more Democrats in the house and it'll be compulsory." The commercial plot develops in such a way as to keep a viewer interested, though not engaged.

I caught this film on HBO last night and started off thinking it was going to suck (like most B-Movie late night fare, uncut or not), but once Gina Gershon enters the picture (about 10 minutes in), the picture starts to really take off, building up a clever web of erotic tension and suspense that kept me glued to the screen, waiting to see what was going to happen next. The stereotypical ending--despite catching me off guard for some reason (maybe because it was 5 am or I couldn't believe they resorted to such a hackneyed gimmick, you decide)--is a bit of a letdown, but don't let that stop you from watching what turned out to be a surprisingly good erotic thriller (despite having extremely minimal nudity, none of it Ms. Gershon's, which I thought odd considering her role certainly warranted it). I give it a 7 out of 10 (it would have warranted an 8 if not for the ending). Worth a rental or purchase (or staying up well past your bedtime in my case). If you like cop films and/or erotic thrillers, this is a pleasant surprise that you should make the effort to track down. I don't know why the director, Yuri Zeltser, has not made more films; he certainly shows a lot of talent. Congratulations to Ms. Gershon for a wonderful "bad girl" performance!

Unworthy police-story. The woman is beautiful and erotic as every man wants. We know that. Stereotype! But the story is thin. At the end he shoots the woman. Why? Bad detective work. I became angry during the movie. Young and green this way: terrible. But: Put off your clothes because of the suspense was funny and good to remember.
