Alicia I love this movie so much
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
sjean46 I liked this movie, because just when you think you have it figured out, your wrong. I have never seen Patrick Swayze do this kind of a movie; but he was wonderful in it. Showing us he is as good an actor as he is sexy. It keeps you on edge all the way to end. A movie you don't take a break in.
Hermit C-2 This movie had the potential to be a decent thriller, but it was hampered by only having about twenty minutes worth of good script, which was mostly used up in the beginning. After that holes started to appear in the story that one could drive a truck through. The movie followed a descending curve from good to ordinary to bad to ludicrous by the time it concluded. It's not recommended.
H5O Patrick Swayze portrays a death row inmate that gets a new trial, when a witness testifies that he wasn't the killer of his wife several years earlier. He is re-tried and found not guilty, but this is just the beginning.He becomes a successful writer, and one of the women that recorded a taped message would later frame him for the murders that occur on film. He is eventually stalked, a la Clint Eastwood in Play Misty For Me (1971), but in this film, he is framed and later vows to find the real killer. The scene in the apartment near the film's end is horrifying, where a meat cleaver and a handgun are present, which makes this film like a Friday the 13th or Nightmare on Elm Street flick, and one that would view this particular scene would remember it for eternity.
setanta-2 An enjoyable film, but there were flaws in the logic. For instance, he was unable to figure out which woman had threatened him: Why didn't he just look at the postmarks? They were all from different states. Also, since he had plenty if money from his book he could have hired a private detective.
