07/31/2012 interesting thriller.supposedly based on fact.a bit dated but hey, a fine wine an all that. See more 03/14/2012 This early film by cult director Alan Rudolph contains all the suspicion, paranoia, and black helicopter stuff we know and love about conspiracy thrillers. I dug that synthesizer music on the sound track too.
