Audience Member Despite the cheesy start to the movie, the tension builds to a pretty solid climax. Morjoe Gortner's performance is pretty solid. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member When this movie was released, we nearly wore our VHS copy out. Skip about the first third or maybe even half. The attraction was MG's characters' Teddy and his psychological games with the others. You're always trying to get the mindset of Teddy to work out why he does what he does. Marjoe Gortner is unforgettably magnificent as Teddy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member The film doesn't get at all interesting until about halfway through but when it does, it becomes entrancing. The performance by Marjoe Gortner is stupendous and the fantastic dialogue only makes his character an even greater enigma. Unfortunately, the film falls flat at the very end, when it simply goes nowhere. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a must see Movie!
