Double-identities, death threats and love scenes abound as he delves deeper into the case to uncover the truth about his friend's death. ~ Jeremy Beday, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer
The killer may find his target, but Color of Night fails to hit the nail on the head by a frustrating margin.
-
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
I'm tempted to go ahead and explain just exactly how transparent -- and implausible -- this mystery is. But then I don't want to spoil it for people who are even worse than I am at this sort of thing. People like Forrest Gump.
-
John Hartl, Seattle Times
Mundane sex scenes, a standard L.A. car chase and Bakula's outrageously gory death scene (which plays like an unintentional parody) are all part of the predictable script.
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
The plot gets so convoluted and farfetched that you still may be scratching your head after the denouement, but you probably won't be bored.
-
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
It's a psycho-erotic thriller with more twists and shocks than the rattlesnake which, at one point, leaps out at star Bruce Willis-from a location we won't describe. (It would spoil one of the several dozen surprises.)
