ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

tashaffer I like Second to Die for mindless entertainment, and despite criticism to the opposite, I think Eleniak is a good actress. But mostly, agreeing with other review, I can watch the movie again and again just to see Paul Winfield as a cute, comical detective, always polite while he has everyone's number. Truly, Winfield was an underrated actor. How tragic that he died so soon.

edwagreen Mystery. An engaging, interesting storyline is killed by a ridiculous ending.The story of a beautiful blond who does away with the image of a dumb blond by building a bomb to kill her husband. She had everything until they found out that wife #1 killed herself and a few days later, their handicapped daughter shows up to live with them. Her husband makes her a maid for this child. Enter the guy's best friend, played by Jerry Kroll, who is a definite look alike to Eddie Fisher. The two plot to kill Jim (#1) for an insurance policy. Turns out they can't do anything until she dies since the policy can only kick in then and it will be for the surviving child.In the meantime, suspicions are aroused when Kroll weds our blond shortly after Jim's death. The late Paul Winfield plays a widowed detective who is on the trail of the two.Again, the ending is ridiculous as everyone comes together suggesting that everyone was in this for the money. Ridiculous.

archive1 I have to give Erica Eleniac credit: she really is trying hard to shed her early career as 'eye candy' and take on more challenging and serious roles. Hollywood being what it is, she still spends a lot of time in this movie scantilly clad...but also delivers a performance of real depth as a party girl who married for money only to find herself trapped in a loveless marriage. When she starts to plot to have her husband killed, things start to go terribly wrong. The movie uses an unusual framing devise in having the action related in a series of flashbacks from the dead woman's diary as it is being read by her younger sister (also Eleniak). Paul Winfield also delivers a solid performance as an aging cop, somewhat similar to that of Gene Hackman's aging cop in the movie 'Falling Down'. While not exactly a masterpiece, and utilizing plot devises that have cropped up many times in other movies, the quality of the cast and the dead-on solid performance by Eleniak combine to lift this film over its B-movie cliches!Recomended

Erik This movie was boring in the beginning, you just want the movie to end. But actually it got more and more interesting and had a very nice ending. The acting was not so good and I have seen movies with similar histories. Anyway I give it a 6/10. Watch it if u like thriller.
