Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Desertman84 Starring Jacqueline Bisset, Adam Garcia, Alice Evans, and James Naughton, Fascination throbs with danger, deceit, passion, and suspense as a pair of step siblings are torn between desire and suspicion in this sexy thriller.It was directed by Klaus Menzel.Scott Doherty is a young man in his early 20's who is still coming to terms with the unexpected death of his father when he learns that his mother, Maureen, is engaged to marry Oliver Vance.He doesn't approve of the marriage, and he soon learns Oliver's daughter Kelly, also in her early 20's, has similar misgivings, primarily because Oliver also just recently lost his spouse. As Scott and Kelly get to know one another, they begin to wonder if the recent deaths that made the marriage of Maureen and Oliver possible were entirely accidental, though their feelings become far more complicated when they enter into a passionate affair.This film is contrived and formulaic as well as it was laughable since it features loads of cheesy dialogue.Aside from that,we can't stay interested and much less fascinated due to the poor screenplay.The performance and presence of Jacqueline Bisset is the only reason why I gave this movie a 5 instead of 1 out of 10 rating.
Grumnarrh I don't want to say anything else about the sheer crappyness of this thing as all there is to it is already said. I just want to point out that, with one exception, every single one of the "users" that give more than four stars to it has so far contributed only one review. Don't get me wrong, I'd never dare to question someones taste in movies. But if a unquestionably and objectively horrible movie like this gets reviews which are as unrealistic and obviously unjustified as the ones here it really makes me wonder. So if I had the impression that there could be any way to believe that all these cheerful posters could actually be more than one person i wouldn't say anything. But in this case i feel obliged to warn everyone who hasn't seen this movie to avoid it at all costs. Ed Wood would hide his face in shame if he had done this.
mpmurr I caught this film by chance as my wife fell asleep on the sofa and this was on when I woke her up. I was interested to hear Alice Evans's voice so I sat down and tried to watch the film. I really tried, honestly I really did, but I was totally taken aback by the total lack of acting skills of the main characters. I was stunned at how wooden the actors were. I just can't explain how so much money was spent on such a disaster of a film. I have seen bad films that turned out to be funny because they were trying to be serious, but this wasn't even funny. It was just bad. I guess the producers spent all their cash on getting the "name" i.e. Jacquiline Bisset, and the other $1000 was spent making the film. I think that the director must not have visited Key West as the movie was made in PR and that is nothing like South Florida. But did you notice something suspicious about lots of the reviews here on IMDb? They're all loving the movie! what planet were they living on? How much did the studio pay people to go online and write positive reviews? Thank goodness that IMDb weight the rating as they can tell who has seen a movie and who is paid to say it. PS. Daryl Haney gets a minus 5 for writing a disaster of a script. He should stick to his soft-core porn scripts e.g. Emmanuelle-Queen of the Galaxy and Lady Chatterley's Stories, where the script doesn't really matter.
rajanxxx A great DVD cover and a good storyline on the back of it was enough to fool me into buying it.So in case you have bought it and have not yet seen it then let it be that way. The complicated relations remind me of cheap B grade thrillers where double crosses are inevitably followed by a triple cross.The acting was below average and Alice Evans in particular was horrible.The way she talked with that twangy accent( don't know where that comes from but I am sure it was unintentional on her part) was really awful.Too few characters and too much complicity for a storyline which ain't fit even for an amateur movie. Klaus Menezel should stop directing movies if this is what he is good at.
