    Kinda noir-ish tale. Frankly, got lost in the nudity of Jennifer Connelly & Virginia Madsen.
  • February 13, 2008
    A sexy little contemporary film noir. Jennifer Connelly is outstanding.

    Don's other movie beforr the "Harley Davidson & the Marlboro man" and its a romantic one with all sort of twists and turns and his he a good guy or not?. . . Plenty of good romantic pairings between Don Johnson and Jennifer Connlley & Virginia Madsen

    Arousing suspense that Basic Instinct could have learned from - Connelly is a -real- lead.
