This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is not a great movie, by any stretch of the imagination. It is basically a B movie that stars some actors who have been in A movies in the past. For Helen Slater fans (like me!), however, the film is a must-have. Although predictable, the plot was very contrived and beyond the realm of the believable. The ending looked like it was edited with a chain saw. Instead of coming to an end, the movie more-or-less just kind of "stops."This movie has an unbelievable plot but is saved by the good performances of Helen Slater as the young mother Ellie West and Heather Lind as her daughter Autumn West. The seven year's old Autumn is so bright and cute that you will believe that she has just arrived from Argo City. She even has eyes with the same incredible color of her mother's. To have a so smart daughter is good for Ellie who is thrown inside a conspiracy where everybody wants to kill her, even her ex-husband, her best friend and her doctor. Here is where you will need to have a lot of what they call suspension of disbelief to enjoy this movie. A woman like Ellie would never have an ex-husband like that because she would never marry him in the first place. But even with a bad plot this is an enjoyable movie. And, of course, there is the famous sex scene where The Phantom makes love with Supergirl under the moonlight. Something you will never see in the comics.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

Not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination. Some of the acting and dialogue are cringe-inducing. Still it's hard to hate a movie with Alan Thicke as the heavy, Harvey Korman, and Squiggy in it. Kelly Le Brock with a great Clara Bow flappadoodle haircut, plays the distaff heavy with Mr.Thicke and looks like she's halfway enjoying it. This meanders along for about 90 minutes, then comes to a typical for the genre and era ending. If it wasn't for the vulgarity you could see something similar any day of the week on the Lifetime network.There is one transcendent moment, Billy Zane's character gives a toast, ending with "Drink up." Without missing a beat, and with a delightfully goofy grin, Helen slater replies, "Going down, lingerie, David Lynch, Fellini." then immediately drops her wine glass. This made the slog worthwhile for me. Of course Kurt Cobain was jealous of me for a reason, I really am easily amused.

Typical by-product of the "erotic thriller" craze of the early 1990's, this one watchable as most, but mainly plays out like a foul-mouthed Lifetime TV movie. If you want to see Helen Slater's bare boobs, this is the place to be. If you want to see former TV stars such as Harvey Korman, Alan Thicke, and David Lander make fools of themselves to get a paycheck to pay the bills, this IS the place to be! Speaking of Alan Thicke, he provides 90% of the profanity on here, playing against type as a dirt bag ex-husband conspiring to kill Helen Slater in order to get her share of a company she owns stock in. Yep, the plot is that dull and predictable. Robby Benson should stick to acting and throw the word processor in the garbage. Still, if you must watch this, it is worth a look just to listen to how many times Alan Thicke can say "F**K!".

Young mother Helen Slater sets up home after divorcing her bad old husband, and falls for handsome doctor Billy Zane. However (there's always a however) she finds the new friends she's made are not quite what they seem. Someone wants to get to her, she doesn't know who it is. Yep, it's that type of movie.
