Tom O'Toole (Nick Nolte) is a private detective who gets roped into investigating a murder case by the alluring Angela Crispini (Debra Winger). She believes that Felix (Frank Military), a young local man convicted of a killing is innocent, though her reasoning behind this belief isn't clear. As O'Toole looks into the case, he becomes romantically involved with Angela, but the more he finds out about her, the less he can discern between truth and pure fabrication.

As any gambler knows, the trouble with everybody winning is that you end up with a pretty unsatisfactory pay-out.

Everybody wins is not a creation, rather it is an aberration. [Full review in Spanish]

...Arthur Miller's surprisingly incoherent screenplay [is] certainly a key element in the film's downfall.

The question is: Who is worse, Nick Nolte or Debra Winger? Winger wins that one, because Nolte manages to mostly sleepwalk through the movie, underplaying in a ridiculous role, so he manages to mostly fly under the radar. But Debra Winger decided to play it big, so she looks bad - but big bad. She really needs a good director, so she's adrift here. Is this why she quit acting? The reviews must have been brutal. Also have to give a shout-out to the editor - maybe they didn't have much to work with, but the editing makes a bad movie into an awful movie. The screenplay was apparently by Arthur Miller, so my suspicion is that the actors stuck to the script religiously because everyone was afraid to change a single word. So there are lots of awkward moments and stilted unnatural language. Lastly, the chemistry between Nolte and Winger is just nonexistent. They look, even in the love scenes, like they actually repelled each other. Final stupid pun: With this movie, everybody loses, especially the audiences.

When you get an unstable main character you get a story that could have been forgettable but becomes memorable.
