When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Recently saw this on pay cable. The look of the film teetered between B-cable movie and Theatrically released. You had fairly recognizable stars, many of whom were miscast. Screenplay was written by none other than Robbie Benson. Have not seen him as an actor in many years. "Betrayal Of The Dove" was nothing more than an enjoyable Guilty Pleasure. Billy Zane was as quirky as ever. Also refreshing to see the late Alan Thicke portray a villain.

Not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination. Some of the acting and dialogue are cringe-inducing. Still it's hard to hate a movie with Alan Thicke as the heavy, Harvey Korman, and Squiggy in it. Kelly Le Brock with a great Clara Bow flappadoodle haircut, plays the distaff heavy with Mr.Thicke and looks like she's halfway enjoying it. This meanders along for about 90 minutes, then comes to a typical for the genre and era ending. If it wasn't for the vulgarity you could see something similar any day of the week on the Lifetime network.There is one transcendent moment, Billy Zane's character gives a toast, ending with "Drink up." Without missing a beat, and with a delightfully goofy grin, Helen slater replies, "Going down, lingerie, David Lynch, Fellini." then immediately drops her wine glass. This made the slog worthwhile for me. Of course Kurt Cobain was jealous of me for a reason, I really am easily amused.

Oh my god, what a waste of time! I actually got through it, just because I'm stubborn.It's about this separated Mom who is feeling threatened. Helen Slater is not at her acting best here. And Heather Lind, who plays her daughter is probably the worst and most annoying child actress I've ever had the displeasure to see.Alan Thicke plays her baddie husband. He's the only good thing about this movie. He throws F bombs as well as Troy Aikman threw footballs.The rest of cast was interesting. Harvey Korman from the Carol Burnett Show, David Lander who played Squiggy on Laverne and Shirley, Kelly LeBrock from Weird Science, and Billy Zane.Anyway, back to the plot. Helen SLater is separated and has tonsillitis. She meets her surgeon Billy Zane and proceeds to start an affair with him. I'm sure the medical board would not approve. Well, one thing leads to another, Slater has visions of a crow, and blah blah blah.The most appropriate way to end this movie was in the last minute my emergency warning came on to warn about flash floods and when it came back to the film it was playing the credits. So I have no idea how it ended. But frankly I didn't care.I'd pass on this. It was stupid. The only reason I gave it a 2 was because I thought Alan Thicke was sexy and I loved his F bombs. No more Mr. Seaver there!!

Typical by-product of the "erotic thriller" craze of the early 1990's, this one watchable as most, but mainly plays out like a foul-mouthed Lifetime TV movie. If you want to see Helen Slater's bare boobs, this is the place to be. If you want to see former TV stars such as Harvey Korman, Alan Thicke, and David Lander make fools of themselves to get a paycheck to pay the bills, this IS the place to be! Speaking of Alan Thicke, he provides 90% of the profanity on here, playing against type as a dirt bag ex-husband conspiring to kill Helen Slater in order to get her share of a company she owns stock in. Yep, the plot is that dull and predictable. Robby Benson should stick to acting and throw the word processor in the garbage. Still, if you must watch this, it is worth a look just to listen to how many times Alan Thicke can say "F**K!".
