TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film

Lawbolisted Powerful

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

ADG999 I caught this movie on late-night cable a few years ago, and watched it because I like Angus McFayden. I got wrapped up in the story, and it has stuck with me ever since. McFayden does such a good job of playing a suspicious, very guarded man who lets down his defenses when he falls for a beautiful woman. You can see in his eyes how he feels, without him ever having to say a word (reminds me of Russell Crowe).The pain he feels as he tells her how much he cares about her is palpable. You can tell how hard it is for him to let himself be vulnerable. Natasha Henstridge does a surprisingly effective job as the girl. She's not the world's best actress, but she makes us believe that McFayden's character would fall in love with her. The film was obviously shot on a shoe-string budget, but McFayden's acting helps bring the film up to a higher level. All in all, pretty good for late-night viewing.

moni Believe it or not, it has just been shown on our national TV as some late hour production. I can do nothing more than to agree with the above-mentioned reviewers. One swallow does not a spring make, and I mean the gorgeous Natasha in the leading female role. Even a B-movie needs a plot (word that the director hum ... what's his name again does NOT use). This movie is so full of clichés it can be run as an example in the actor classes. Something that could be passable is completely destroyed by plot hole after another and a cliché after cliché. It becomes so apparent that the main male character which has the charisma of donkey in a meadow will be killed in the end that you nearly wanna shout at the crew - "Hey, why are you taking us for idiots?" This movie is so bad it could be entertaining just for that reason. If you are in the mood for mindless entertaining just for the sake of it, it's your piece of cake. So go ahead and watch it. 1/10 from me.

JamieWJackson Natasha is very pretty, and yep she can act some, too. (Is it me, or is there more than a passing resemblance between her and Julia Roberts?) Fonda, while showing little range here, was quite creepy. The other girl in the movie... what the heck? She was in, what, 3? 4 scenes? 2? lines of dialogue? What was that all about? Maybe some of her scenes wound up getting cut, but, whatever the explanation, her character came out seeming bizarrely undershown, considering how important she turns out to be. Angus was alright. The big surprise for me here was Liam Waite; I hadn't seen him before, and I'm surprised to see the other comments on IMDB.com are so negative toward him. I found him quite intriguing here.The plot needed some help; I agree that the ending was poor, at least in part due to the mystery girl suddenly becoming so central at the end. There were other plot holes too, and a lot of cliches. Still, the mood of the film was nicely established, and I did feel some interest in the characters and finding out what their relationships were to one another. 4/10; would have been higher with a more rational plot, a more justifiable ending (not to say a cliched one, necessarily, but...), and a little more energy from the male lead.

iskessler This B TV movie has every cliche in the book - we actually laughed watching it - commenting how many of the scenes "only happen on tv". This one has amnesiac with no ID, a guy saying "Never point a gun unless you plan on using it" - and then does it several times without using it, the classic dead guy who's not dead and attacks again, etc.'The only reason to watch is to get disappointed with yourself for having watched it - it's so bad you can't turn away!
