At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is a good movie. I originally watched this on my Ipad in bed hoping it would put me to sleep. I kept thinking I would shut it down at some point but realized I had to see the end. Basically, you have a hard working cop married to a so so looking wife. This man just needs a decent meal, but his wife has zero cooking skills. He sends her to cooking class and she still can't serve a meal a man can eat. Some would say he over reacts, but this guy fells the need for a "beat down" to get his point across. The man just wants a "side dish" for god sakes! Anyway, I must say that this chick gets a little better looking as the movie goes on, I'm not sure why and it was a little distracting. So she meets this cute guy at cooking class and her husband smells something dirty going on ..but this guy she meets could grant her the freedom she's been looking for.

When you see the errors that the eventual antagonist permits himself, you begin to doubt that he is a cool, calculating assassin after all. I expected better by him as a first-rate actor. I understand the thread of the movie, but some logic lacks. Nonetheless, you'll have to see it for yourself to believe me. This will not take away from the fact that I am a big fan of Mark Harmon. I liked him better in his portrayal of Ted Bundy. At least it was believable - not merely because it was fact-based, but at least he had a more intelligent character. However, a more understandable end takes place, in spite of the antagonist's intelligence flaws (or maybe he was guided by love instead of instinct; I don't know), but in the end morality takes precedence over logic. That at least I can admire.

It appals me (having worked as a rewrite man at MGM back in the 60's) how some of today's films ever get produced. Poor scripts seem to be the rule, plus in the case of this disaster, poor direction, an unattractive and inept cast, and pacing that rivals a snail's pace. Dear Gussie, is it any wonder that many of us over-50's are staying home and reading a book instead of wasting time watching trashy contemporary attempts at film. There's only one blessing in this film: there are no special effects.

Very exciting film with a bang-up ending. This poor woman couldn't pick the right man with a set of ice tongs. As bad as hubby was, at least he wasn't a total psycho. Although this picture had some gaping holes in it [for instance: why didn't the cop call for backup?], it was still tense and dramatic. If I learned one thing from this movie, it was to always carry a backup modem connection.
