    Not very good.

    Saw this on video years ago and can only recall it being pretty stock-standard, nothing else.

    Utterly predictable and boring. Another 90 minutes of my life was wasted watching this.

    Really funny :) Hutton is good! I didn't expect much but I was surprised!

    "Enjoyably trashy fun"? Yeah, I suppose. I didn't like it much. It was more trashy than enjoyable, I think.

    The one movie I didn't find Lara Flynn Boyle annoying. A very sexy movie and a bit trashy, but fun anyway.
  • May 15, 2007
    A good suspence-thriller movie. A great cast with a great plot. An executive deals with corporate curruption and an deceiving temp. A good movie that will keep you guessing.
