There is very little I can add to many of these reviews, criticisms all valid, cheese factor noted and agreed with by this IMDb user. The only thing I will say about this thriller from my past is that 1) I really liked Alan Alda in this and 2)I think this movie reaches on over into the "maybe for the camp value" genre. I read another user's reference to Final analysis which came out around the same time-I actually really dug that one, I rate analysis about an 8.5. I can note similarities in the plot but their basically 2 different movies. Analysis is more eerie, this is campy at times(many times) and very tawdry-I do recall wanting to see it when it first came out and being a bit let down when I did-Was this a book too? I seem to dimly recall that it was, but could be wrong,I'll have to look that up. But this isn't really that much different then a lot of lifetime movies and even some thrillers that have been out this last year and done decent.
If you go into this knowing it's pure camp and there's no reality whatsoever to it and there's' a lot of twists that can only happen BECAUSE it's a movie, you might enjoy it. I will admit I didn't guess the end "twist" which all of the watchers of this movie except for I seemed to have known before or shortly after, the movie started, so that's a bit alarming but hey I did guess the twists in other more popular movies so that's a good thing.
Basically, this is entertainment and not memorable entertainment either. I wouldn't put it in the IMDb worst movie list but all individuals' negative comments can be understood. Still think Alda was a standout in this though. 4 or 5 out of 10 from me but way higher for Alda.
