I have to admit, that out of the many many thriller movies i have seen, this has to be one of the worst. I was shocked to discover that this piece of work had a 1.5 mil budget. When it started, i thought that the opening sequence was pretty good, fairly standard for this kind of film, but pretty good anyway. But as the film progressed i began to feel distinctly uncomfortable with the lack of pace that i was seeing, each sequence seemed to take hours. The reason for this could have been that by now the film had already bored me to tears, nothing was happening other than endless accusations peppered with confusing flashbacks and the occasional fit of bad temper. Well ... after wading through what felt like a lifetime of these scenes we finally reached the big finale...an all singing, all dancing demonstration of how lack of imagination can completely ruin what could have been a good film.Overall i found this movie predictable and tedious and I would not recommend this film to anyone other than those people i personally dislike, but if you have a couple of hours to waste and you want to watch a thriller that is not even remotely scary, this is the movie for you.

I'm rarely able to site through an entire movie on television these days. This movie was on court TV today (Sunday afternoon) and I actually watched the entire movie without channel flipping. The acting was very good and it wasn't over the top and did make you wonder what the truth was. Good way to spend a couple of hours.Geeze, I just wanted to write an little comment but they want me to write a novel! 10 lines of text.... okay, I'll start listing some of my favorite movies: Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, Star Wars (only episodes 4-6), The Color Purple, The Matrix, Kundun, The Last Emperor, My Cousin Vinny, Legaly Blond.

The first thing to get past is the fact that this straight-to-video thriller is shot on video, and, as such, looks low budget, and feels like a TV show. But once you can get past that, the video works in its favour, encouraging you to take more from the performances and the story. It's seemingly more realistic, with, literally a clearer view of what's going on. The direction is very simple, but this helps to concentrate on the characters and the plot.The three leads give credible performances, and there are enough ambiguities in the story to keep you guessing until the end (despite some unfortunate holes in credibility). A bigger budget and bigger stars would easily see this type of thing in your local cinema. As it is, a competent thriller, a surprising straight-to-video hit.

Skeletons in the Closet is a very different film that has a unique cast which includes Treat Williams, Linda Hamilton, Jonathan Jackson, Schuyler Fisk, and Gordon Clapp. The acting by all of these actors is very good. Williams and Hamilton is excellent in this film. I thought they were really great together. The mystery is really good and some of it is unbelievable. The movie is filmed very differently and in fact I can't recall a film that's filmed similar like this one. The music is good. The film is quite exciting and the movie really keeps you going until the end. This is a very good and thrilling film. If you like Treat Williams, Linda Hamilton, Jonathan Jackson, and the rest of the cast I've mentioned above, thrillers, dramas, and exciting films then I recommend this film!
