Carly decides that a change of location will help her in the healing process, so she moves into a sleek Manhattan high-rise. In her new apartment, she meets a collection of curious neighbors --Vida (Polly Walker), who snorts cocaine along with ingesting all the dark secrets of the building and its tenants; Jack Landsford (Tom Berenger), a successful writer who also wants to also be successful with Carly; and Zeke Hawkins (William Baldwin), Carly's new landlord. Carly is attracted to Zeke, but she sees that he is hiding something from her. Unbeknownst to Carly, Zeke, an obsessive voyeur, watches his tenants from a bank of television screens at his headquarters. But when Carly discovers Zeke's voyeurism, she herself becomes obsessed with the daily lives of her neighbors. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

Critic Reviews

David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
...stripped of its thriller elements, the movie is really just a subpar 9 1/2 Weeks clone...
-
Don Willmott, Filmcritic.com
Director Phillip Noyce's camera will leer at anything that clenches and unclenches with a steady rhythm.
-
Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
A glossy, trashy psychological thriller that manages to entertain despite a reshot ending which is too abrupt.
-
Clint Morris, Moviehole
A hot follow-up to "Basic Instinct"....just as sizzling
-
Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
Horrible.
