Sadly Over-hyped
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
It appals me (having worked as a rewrite man at MGM back in the 60's) how some of today's films ever get produced. Poor scripts seem to be the rule, plus in the case of this disaster, poor direction, an unattractive and inept cast, and pacing that rivals a snail's pace. Dear Gussie, is it any wonder that many of us over-50's are staying home and reading a book instead of wasting time watching trashy contemporary attempts at film. There's only one blessing in this film: there are no special effects.
Standard B-movie fare. But strangely watchable. Caroline Goodall is kinda babe-like.....and the plot has a decent enough twist. Gotta wonder, is Goodall the sister of Jane Goodall of chimpanzee research fame? Looks similar. But her sister picked chimps better than Caroline picks men. 5/10. Just barely worth renting on video if you have seen everything else.
Very exciting film with a bang-up ending. This poor woman couldn't pick the right man with a set of ice tongs. As bad as hubby was, at least he wasn't a total psycho. Although this picture had some gaping holes in it [for instance: why didn't the cop call for backup?], it was still tense and dramatic. If I learned one thing from this movie, it was to always carry a backup modem connection.
I don't want to spoil the ending so let's just say it borrows from many horror/slasher films we've all seen 1000 times. The set up was interesting and the acting was quite riveting at times but the inevitable culmination of the action sequences towards the end were predictable and unsatisfying. I don't know why you would make a film with so many loose ends unless you were too desperate to make any statement condemning spousal abuse. Straight-to-videos are prescreened for test audiences and don't get distributed for a reason.
