This is one of Bruce's most underrated thrillers, which at the time, because of the sexual content between him and Jane March, caused much controversy, surprise, surprise!!! The story is decent, the chase scene is a cracker and the rest of the cast, including the delectable Miss March, who plays a brilliant role herself are all equal contributors. It goes without saying that the scenes between Jane and Bruce are quite racy and steamy, but they work well and the controversy only added to it. The theme song is also sexy and moody.I agree that critics look way too much on the sexual issue. True there are many nude scenes, so if you're sensitive to nudity or sex, you may have a problem with this movie (most critics seem to have this dysfunction). The fact that Willis and March have sex plays an essential role to her psychological being, as well to his understanding to the tragic reality that is her (and her brother's) life. This movie is well done. It also gives you a glimpse into the life of a truly mixed up person, that can overcome any odds,including confusion in one's sexuality, multiple personalities, and even physical and mental abuse. Jane March does an excellent job as well. Her portrayal of this confused youth tormented by her older brother, who she obviously looks up to, yet she seems to find comforting an erotic life style with many partners, her favorite partner (and love) being Bruce Willis, is exceptional.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

Wearing a vivid green dress, an unstable woman smears bright red lipstick on her face. Then, she visits New York therapist Bruce Willis (as Bill Capa). The woman suffers a mishap, which causes Mr. Willis to go color blind. The color red is his most specific problem. It is also the color of blood. Willis visits Los Angeles and sits in on a fellow psychoanalyst's therapy group. He decides to stay in the city and take over his college friend's therapy group. The group members are all unbalanced, of course. Later, while talking and driving, Willis has a minor "fender bender" accident with exceptionally sexy and much younger Jane March (as Rose). To make life exciting, a serial killer begins knocking off members of the cast...Possibly, director Richard Rush and Willis were going for quirky, here. It doesn't work. A major mystery is telegraphed early. This strangely apparent deception doesn't necessarily reveal the killer's identity, but it does distract one from caring. Willis shows off thickened hair and muscles. March looks great on film. Both show generous amounts of flesh and have good crying scenes. Neither are convincing, however. The foul-mouthed therapy group appears to have fun. Out-of-place "Columbo"-like detective Ruben Blades has too much fun, but carpenter Andrew Lowery (as Dale) should have some more. The cinematography by Dietrich Lohmann is a strength, especially when March is dressing up and down the scenery.**** Color of Night (1994-08-19) Richard Rush ~ Bruce Willis, Jane March, Lesley Ann Warren, Andrew Lowery

This movie won the Razzie award for Worst Motion Picture of 1994. Oddly enough though, it didn't win in any of the other "worst of" categories. This really says something about the film. The fact is, it is just hard to point to any one or even combination of factors of why it is so bad. It's not that any one particular performance is bad or an actor or actress is miscast or that there is particularly cheesy dialogue as is so often the case in a "bad film". It's just that the whole thing comes together to form a whole lot of nothing. It's more what isn't in the film than what is in it that makes it mediocre. Sure, the ending is unexpected, but it would also be unexpected if I found an extra broom when I was cleaning out my closet. That wouldn't make it remarkable, interesting, or even noteworthy. Because I never grew to care about the characters I couldn't be expected to care about the ending. The film is trying to be a psychological thriller with Willis as the protagonist trying to unravel the mystery. What comes out over the duration of the film are just many seemingly disjointed odd events meant to shock but just don't form any kind of cohesive plot. Instead we have what could have been a strong cast of characters in good performances spending the whole film trying to figure out exactly who they are supposed to be. The explicit love scenes between Willis and Jane March are just annoying more than anything as they seem to scream "This is a consolation prize to make up for the fact that you're sitting through such a bad film".

Two things happen at psychiatrist Bruce Willis' group therapy - one, he drops into a hot and heavy relationship with a tasty young thing and, two, patients start getting murdered.There are two ways of describing this movie. One is by applying the label "erotic thriller". The other is by describing it thus: ludicrous melodrama where half the characters remain at hysteria pitch throughout, and Bruce Willis reveals all in a series of sex scenes with Jane March who, despite getting her kit off frequently, fails to establish this as the breakthrough role it should have been given the scope of her character.This film is not un-entertaining, but it's for all the wrong reasons.
