J M Whenever you hear that a film has been credited to Alan Smithee, it's a REALLY bad sign. That means the filmmaker is so disillusioned with the finished product, he wants his name removed from the credits. When I found out that this movie, which I had never heard of before, not only was the last motion picture to use the Alan Smithee monicker but also starred one of my five favorite actresses of all time, I had to give it a gander. The good news is that it's not a total embarrassment. The bad news is that it still isn't very good. There's nothing particularly bombastic here aside from Sutherland's performance, which is truly atrocious. It just feels dead in the water - there's no passion, no drama, nothing to draw the viewer into this world. Sometimes it feels overly scripted and other times it feels badly improvisational. This is just mediocre soap opera material here, and I think Sutherland taking on duties as actor AND director made both roles suffer immensely. I don't think Hunter is capable of giving a bad performance, but the relationship between her and Moriarty feels creepy rather than convincing - almost like a prelude to him chopping her into pieces and shoving her in the freezer. It's just a very odd, peculiar little duck of a movie. I don't know if it necessarily deserved its fate, but I can honestly say I'll most likely never think of it ever again. - Jeff Marshall, Movie Blogger (Facebook) Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Audience Member If you don't get the message, you need to catch up on François Truffaut's narrative. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a piece of theatrical junk. Can't believe I watched it till the end. Bad script, bad score, acting is teeth-clenching bad but can't totally blame it on the actors, given what they had to work with. There must be something there if I watched it till the totally tacked on close. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Probing but in the end lacking.

Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A Kiefer Sutherland film...says everything. Introduces some interesting characters, but never really explains them and the plot itself has gaping holes Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
