In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

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

I'm rarely able to site through an entire movie on television these days. This movie was on court TV today (Sunday afternoon) and I actually watched the entire movie without channel flipping. The acting was very good and it wasn't over the top and did make you wonder what the truth was. Good way to spend a couple of hours.Geeze, I just wanted to write an little comment but they want me to write a novel! 10 lines of text.... okay, I'll start listing some of my favorite movies: Oh Brother, Where Art Thou, Star Wars (only episodes 4-6), The Color Purple, The Matrix, Kundun, The Last Emperor, My Cousin Vinny, Legaly Blond.

The first thing to get past is the fact that this straight-to-video thriller is shot on video, and, as such, looks low budget, and feels like a TV show. But once you can get past that, the video works in its favour, encouraging you to take more from the performances and the story. It's seemingly more realistic, with, literally a clearer view of what's going on. The direction is very simple, but this helps to concentrate on the characters and the plot.The three leads give credible performances, and there are enough ambiguities in the story to keep you guessing until the end (despite some unfortunate holes in credibility). A bigger budget and bigger stars would easily see this type of thing in your local cinema. As it is, a competent thriller, a surprising straight-to-video hit.

I just recently saw this movie, it is so good. I am a huge Jonathan Jackson fan, and this has to be one of the best things I've seen him in. In his other performances he was always missing a certain spark, but here he had it. This movie kept making you second guess your self. During the movie I kept thinking Was he, did he, no it was that person. I was so good. there is nothing more to say you have to see it to understand. Absoloutly amazing.

There's a reason why you've never heard of this movie... it's not any good! However, I must admit that the movie does keep your attention; but that's only because you think the movie's going to be good or the climax will be spectacular. Not so. The film tries to be clever like every other Hollywood thriller by gradually giving pieces of the puzzle; and when the puzzle is finally solved you're not thinking, "Oooohhh, I get it now!," but rather, "Big deal, no surprises there." My overall thought: the film seems more like an episode of a TV thriller (such as Profiler) rather than a movie.
