I can't even begin to express my fury and rage at C Thomas Howell. Why did you make this film? what purpose does it serve? How do you still get work? I only bought this for the Kiefer Sutherland cameo. It really wasn't worth the 99p i paid on ebay for it. Me and my wife managed about ten minutes before she demanded i watch it in my own time. The next day i finished watching it while trying to busy myself with house work so the day didn't feel completely wasted. Badly acted, badly shot, It may just have been my copy but the sound and picture quality was dreadful. How C Thomas Howell went from doing great films like 'the outsiders' to making straight to video self indulgent c**p like this is a mystery to me. Enjoy!

Beautiful, smart, dangerous, ruthless, tai-chi practicing Sophia Shinas is pretty much the only bright spot of this dud. For the story to have any chance of being less than absolutely ludicrous, we have to believe that the male lead can clearly see that the right thing to do is run away from this woman, but he is unable to do so because she is simply irresistible. And thanks to Shinas' presence, we believe it. The rest of the movie though....C. Thomas Howell is bland until maybe the last 5 minutes, and the plot couldn't be any more predictable. And don't be deceived by some famous names mentioned on the video box (Kiefer Sutherland, Timothy Bottoms, Lou Diamond Phillips), they all have essentially cameos. (*1/2)

Hey, its a B movie that is reasonably entertaining. Its not going to be nominated for a academy award, but thats not why you watch B movies. The plot moves and is coherent which is bettor than a lot of B movies. Sofia Shinas is absolutely gorgeous and bares her soul in the flick which is worth the $2.00 rental fee. My suggestion is to have one of your favorite adult beverages prior to viewing and a second during it will put you in the proper frame of mind for this flick. This is simply a beach novel on film that doesn't require any thought, after a hard day at the office easy to unwind to. So if your looking for mindless entertainment with some beautiful women in it this might be up your ally.

I bought this movie because it offered Kiefer Sutherland as one of the leading cast... he was in it, for about 5 minutes.Anyway, when I fell out with one of my friends, I gave him the video knowing that he would sit and watch it, wasting 90 minutes of his life. Enough said.
