Truly Dreadful Film

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Starts out promising. Decent character development, and Walken's presence helps, but logic flies out the window early on and never returns. The two cops who believe Artie did it are extremely annoying. Pretty soon the predictable plot spins out of control with bodies piling up for no other reason than to twist the story and shamelessly manipulate the viewer. The ending will leave you with an empty feeling like you have been cheated. Nevertheless, like a pending train wreck, it is difficult to look away. I watched it to the end, but have seen many superior twist and turn exploitation movies. In summary, watchable but very average. - MERK

Listen, I've seen this movie a hundred times, showing it to friends and family as a lark. It's a hilarious buddy-movie/murder-mystery with witty, punny-yet-intelligent dialog ala Clue. No, there's nothing groundbreaking here, and the production values are what you would expect from something that, I believe, went straight to video. But why should that matter? This film is completely unpredictable, and has such classic lines as "The dean has knocked off more undergraduates than Kent State." (Hilarious, if you know some basic American history and get the double-ententre.) Most movies these days require that even simple verisimilitude fly out the window, so suspend disbelief, enter with no expectation, and enjoy. It'll keep you guessing, and laughing, until the very end.

An excellent whodunit that keeps you alert from beginning to end. The only serious weakness is the occasionally too-artificially "smart" (or smart-alecky) dialogue, but the film offers a gripping, involving story AND a subtle message about (this could be considered a minor SPOILER) the consequences of perfectionism. Not many people saw it (or liked it), but I think most fans of mysteries would enjoy it immensely. (***)

Christopher Walken: what was he doing in this movie? What was he saying? The only thing this movie succeeded in, besides making me lose faith in Anson "Potsie" Williams filmmaking career, was making me feel sleazy. Everybody in this movie looked too cleancut to be involved with all that sex and I don't think there was a "Blue Velvet" double meaning of looking beneath the surface either.
