One day, successful businessman Clay Reynolds (Richard Masur) hires him to follow his wife, Anne (Virginia Madsen), because Clay isn't entirely convinced that she's faithful to him.

hayley b really unfortunate production, however.. I feel like the general plot of the film was actually good, if you can manage to look past it's production and lack of good direction it's actually a pretty good film.. but the ending was bad. I genually feel this could have been a fantastic movie in the right hands, it's mediocre. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Bland thriller mystery, too slow mopving for my taste. Their is a definite lack of chemistry between Treat Williams and Virginia Madsen. CCH pounder is very good in a supporting role. So-so. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
