Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

tnsmile I really like this movie - it is a 90's thriller, not smash 'em up or shoot 'em up. A good plot. Relatively good performances from the cast - it held my attention. I miss thrillers like this.

vincentlynch-moonoi I'm surprised at the low IMDb rating for this film, because I think it's one of the better suspense films to be made. Perhaps it's because Demi Moore has lost her popularity, but this is a film to be savored.The overall script is pretty believable -- a mob boss is going to trial for murder, and Moore is the one juror his compatriots select to tamper with. Unfortunately, they choose a rather sick and obsessed colleague to deal with her -- Alec Baldwin. Moore succumbs to their threats in order to protect her son. Baldwin develops an obsessive love for Moore, and will do ANYTHING to have his way with her. After she "throws" the trial, Baldwin is not done with Moore...or her son. The climactic scene is especially taut.Demi Moore is great here...one of her best roles. Alec Baldwin, however, makes the film as the sleazy and obsessed lover/killer...he's truly evil here! James Gandolfini is pretty average as a gang member. Joseph Gordon-Levitt shines as the young son; he was a comer even as a child star (and his potential is more obvious today). Anne Heche...well, I never saw the attraction...and still don't. Tony Lo Bianco was good as the crime boss. Although his role was small, it was nice to see Michael Constantine as the judge.The exotic finale in Guatemala is an added treat.Highly recommended! A strong "7".

David Traversa Reading most of the previous reviews made me wonder... This movie is a thriller from the word go and total escapism, yet, many reviewers pretend a perfect script, a flawless sequence of events --life like-- without realizing that this is not a documentary, with dates, statistics and absolutely realistic situations.IT'S JUST A MOVIE!!Seat back and enjoy it!! there isn't more than that!!We are not watching an Ingmar Bergman or Antonioni film here. It's just a thriller, and as such, an EXCELLENT ONE!!I followed it in total concentration, being captivated by such superb actors and director and finding all scenes and sequences amazingly perfect.There is not a single word spoken unnecessarily and every one is always in character, plus a great photography and as eye candy Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin, two superb actors on top of being gorgeous.I found this movie above average for a thriller, surprisingly above average!!

shmucking Alec Baldwin's character talks so much and is so self-righteous that I wanted one of the other characters to yell "Shut up already!". It's hard to think of a more annoying character in movies. James Gandolfini is good, Anne Heche is also enjoyable, and Demi Moore is okay. Baldwin just seems way too impressed with himself and his monologues for this movie to be successful in any way. The story itself has interesting possibilities, but they're overwhelmed by the unconvincing Baldwin character and the submissive way the other characters react to him. One of those movies that I was glad to see end. Very unpleasant movie with an annoying, self-impressed main character.
