Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

I bought this film as I thought the cast was decent and I like Jennifer Rubin & Patsy Kensit.First off let me say the acting is not of a high standard. Stephen Baldwin makes his character look almost retarded at times and at other times morose. Patsy Kensit is so-so but not too convincing in some scenes, and the supposed poetry she spouts in a particular scene in her Hotel Room is utterly meaningless rubbish. Ms Kensit is certainly very suggestive and sexy here but ultimately I think Jennifer Rubin is by far the best in this film. Ms Rubins Character is at first innocent, then sexy, as she plays Stephen Baldwin's Character (Travis)for a fool. The supporting cast includes Adam Baldwin(no relation to his more famous namesakes) & M.Emmet Walsh who has appeared in many films, also I noticed Art Evans who was one of John Mclane's allies in Die Hard 2. The Movie is decent and there are a few nude scenes with Rubin & Kensit, a bit of action but this is certainly not a fast moving or intelligent thriller. There is a particular scene when they are in the car about to commit a crime and Stephen Balwin's character is wearing sunglasses and when you see him again, the area around his eyes etc is painted black instead, then the sunglasses reappear later when they are leaving the crime scene and police are in pursuit, a very obvious error in editing. If you are fans of either of the ladies or either Baldwin then you may find something to like here, but others should steer clear. This is a reasonable but unremarkable thriller and not really worth more than a couple of dollars if you want it.

The first half of this "country thriller" (if I may invent a term) is slow and languid, with an atmosphere of eroticism and barely any plot progression. In the second half the pace picks up a little, but there are too many plot contrivances. Stephen Baldwin gives a pretty bad performance here - I don't know if the popularity of the same year's "Forrest Gump" influenced his acting style, but he often makes his character look like a retard. On the other hand, Patsy Kensit and Jennifer Rubin are well-cast; Kensit probably has the edge in sexiness thanks to her British accent! Fans of either of the three main actors will probably enjoy this; if you're not, you might want to keep your distance. (**)

If you like the Baldwin brothers and their acting along with a story mostly about Hot Sex, nudity, murder, you name IT, this is the film for you. Patsy Kensit (Jolene),"Shelter Island,"03, teases and pleases Stephen Baldwin(Travis)"In My Sleep",03, who plays the innocent virgin and enjoys all the tempting things Jolene does to him. Jennifer Rubin (Kelly Ann),"Playmaker",'94, is another gal who enjoys Travis and seems to also like Jolene in bed. You even have Adam Baldwin (Bobby),"Betrayal",'03, the so called police officer trying to do his duty and wonders why Travis is getting all the loving and affection. This is an adult film and has lots of surprises, like just plain throwing certain people into a Hot Flaming Fire! I did notice that the director of this film, Duane Clark, has produced many TV Series for CSI, Miami and Las Vegas and also the film, "The Shaking Tree",'92. I am sure that Duane Clark will direct better films in the future! Lets HOPE!!!!

Oops. I hired this because I thought it was Bitter harvest (1981), which was recommended. After the appearance of the appalling Patsy Kensit, I checked the recommendation and discovered my mistake. OK, It's watchable, because the main characters are very sexy, but the acting is awful. Stephen Baldwin looks morose the whole time, which is understandable, considering his co-star. Is Patsy competing with Liz Hurley for the title of the most obviously useless actor on the screen?
