The movie is good to look at and painfully intense at times -- not so much when the plot is squeezing in, as when we're invited to identify with Russell when she's looking for trouble.

The trouble Lottie gets in is not very plausible, but it remains entertaining until the end. [Full review in Spanish]

I don't think this film was meant to be a comedy but I never laughed so much during a Mystery film. However, Theresa is amazing!

I watched this movie only because because Theresa Russell is in it, but was pleasantly surprised that it's actually a decent police thriller.
