A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I expected an entertaining "B" movie, and got much more -- believable characters, down-to-earth dialogue, and a plot twist that genuinely caught me off guard. I find refreshing any film with an atypical hero -- in this case, an ordinary nice guy who could be your next door neighbor, His insecurities and temptations feel familiar and understandable. It's no wonder critics quibbled pointlessly over whether "Dead by Dawn" borrowed from "Consenting Adults." A more honest response might arouse uncomfortably close-to-home feelings about how any one of us, at any time, could face temptations more dangerous than we realize. As a morality tale, this film is far more effective than most I've seen (e.g., by comparison, the not-very-believable "Unfaithful.")

I would like to see a sequel showing how Don and Wendy are now living their lives with all the insurance money, they are most likely constantly making love in various places in the world. Also how their affair started and how they plotted to have Kim killed and set up Tim in the process.I think a sequel would be a good idea with flashbacks of everything that happened before this film.Cos I must admit that this was a decent film for a drama thriller and one of Shannon Tweed's most well acted work since ever, and at this age Shannon still looks very hot for her age so I would like to see what is happening in the characters' lives now and also how it all started.

I liked this film... But I would have to say that it really isn't that sexy. The love scenes are rather boring, but the story rocks. The dialogue was great and the detective stuff was cool. It's a good murder mystery, but not your typical Shannpon Tweed movie.

This is a pretty good movie with excellent acting, a fairly good twist at the end and some sharp dialogue. My only criticism is that I think there were too many sex scenes that slowed the movie down. I saw the movie on HBO and it is definitely one of the best of their straight to video selections.
