      don s I work in a prison so knowing that the premise of this movie is highly improbable (but not totally impossible) worked against it for me. The stunningly talented and lovely Julia Ormond is a dentist whose marriage has crumbled due to her husband's infidelity immediately falls for a convict with a scarred face and bad teeth at the prison that she works in part-time. This professional woman supposedly is in such lust that she takes to having sex with this convict on public restroom floors next to the toilet. Other prisoners discover the affair - there truly are no secrets in a prison - and the two are pulled into a plan to smuggle contraband inside. Weak story with decent performances. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Hmmm the things that go on toilet stalls! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad. Pretty good acting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite an interesting plot, some strong acting, and some moments of fine directing and scoring, this fell just a bit flat. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Potential was there, but missed at every turn. Missed as a thriller- no suspense really. Missed as a steamy romance, despite featuring the beautiful Julia Ormond. Weak plot...and abrupt ending. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Guilty pleasure. And that's all.
