This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

recommendation I can give this movie.The plot has holes in it big enough to walk an elephant thru.The script ,acting & dialogue forget even the ending is dumb.I will say Carol Alt is fair as the rich murdering doublecrossing you know what and she has a nice body.Still the main recommendation is Dedee"s love scene and showing her breast.Which may be a first or if not she doesn't do it often

A reformed convict (Ron Marquette), is now on parole, working at a local bar, and living happily with his girlfriend (Dedee Pfeiffer), until classy ex-girlfriend (Carol Alt) reappears on the scene and manipulates him into becoming involved with a murder, as she, in turn, is being black-mailed over a previous killing.It's hard to really find much to say about this movie. There's nothing outstandingly good, but there's nothing outstandingly bad either. The leads are reasonable in their roles, and the plot is watchable, but has a very routine, "done before" feel to it.It's all very 1990s - beautiful looking people, with lots of art deco and sun-touched soft shots. I found the compulsory sex scenes to be dragged out and actually rather slow the story up. The three leads are fair in their parts (with Michelle Pfeiffer's sister Dedee coming off best, being actually rather lovely in her part!), but it's possible to feel that more could have been done with the characters and more depth given to them, particularly with Marquette's reformed criminal being framed from murder.It's the sort of film that is very average, but after you've watched the first half an hour or so, you find yourself having to watch the rest of it just for the sake of it.Bottom line: a fair TV movie in it's own way, but similar plots have been done, much better, by numerous other TV movies both before and since.

I really don't have many positive things to say about this movie. Basically, it is a dull and generally predictable film, and most of the characters are hard to like, making the movie seem even less enjoyable. The cast isn't bad, but the script is ordinary, so some decent performances are wasted. Highly forgettable in every imaginable way.
