Pros: Good looking Actors, Potential to be a good movie
Cons: Storyline too predictable,
The Bottom Line: Not a horrible movie, but there are better alternatives out there; definately do not rent if you are looking for a thriller/skin flick.
Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie's plot.
In retrospective, I get the impression that the purpose of this movie was nothing short of exploiting the popularity of famous acting names, specifically Rebecca DeMornay, Dana Delaney, and Kiefer Sutherland. While these are all recognizable names, they only add a little bit to this movie.
This movie is your basic thriller with a plot twist and a double-crossing. Kim Delaney's character hires Rebecca DeMornay's character to do some undercover work for her, and the double-crossings begin. You may want to avoid watching the trailer for this movie, as it does give away the double cross and the plot "twist". There's really not much more to say about this movie, because it doesn't really have anything that stands out.
Normally most people associate the two actresses in this movie with skin flicks, but this is not the case with this one. Both ladies are incredibly attractive, but it's definitely not what they are known for. In any case, they do look good in this movie, but they keep it zipped up.
The DVD itself is a Columbia Tri-Star movie, and the quality shows. Even though it is a direct to home video, it is still available in both full-screen and widescreen options, with Dolby Digital 5.1 available. The 5.1 audio is crystal clean, although you may want to turn your subwoofer down a little, as I thought the bass was a little over-emphasized. The video on this disc is superb, as are all Columbia DVDs. I didn't see any artifacting, and the colors seemed to fill well.
This movie is probably not a keeper, but does make for a good rental when there is really nothing else to rent.
