Critic Reviews

Frank Ochieng, TheWorldJournal.com
A tawdry yet tepid sexual psychological thriller that feels very atmospheric in its proposed mystiqueness.
Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
A very guilty pleasure. Entertaining trash.
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
Atmospheric but empty
Luke Y. Thompson, New Times
Minority opinion here, I know, but I found the sex scenes hot and March's performance truly impressive.
Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com
An appallingly inept and often laughable whodunit.
Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com
Mediocre L.A. noir thriller made more tolerable by Jane March disrobing frequently.
Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Underrated, but far from great.

It starts out as a good movie when Bruce's character takes over a college mate's psychology practice when he is murdered. It all goes down hill when Jane appears.

OHHH!! Very sexy and thriller film better than <i>Basic Instinct</i> I ever watched in director's cut on DVD. This film can make you feel more hot and thrilling.

A sexy thriller that is very twisted and not very exciting

interesting but silly, especially at the end

Quite possibly the worst film I have ever scene. It doesn't work as a thriller, drama, romance or blockbuster, and is far too bad to be "so bad it's good". Oh, and you get to see "little Bruce" (which is little indeed). Avoid avoid avoid.

A dire film from a period where Willis was a bit lost at sea (see also 'Striking Distance'). This tries to jump on the erotic thriller bandwagon reignited by 'Basic Instinct' but ends up being laughably bad and not at all erotic. Jane March is a poor actress and… More
A dire film from a period where Willis was a bit lost at sea (see also 'Striking Distance'). This tries to jump on the erotic thriller bandwagon reignited by 'Basic Instinct' but ends up being laughably bad and not at all erotic. Jane March is a poor actress and looks more convincing as a boy than a girl. Willis is embarrassing as a shrink and shows his willy! Enough said! Avoid at all costs!!!
