Reviews

Tebsin49 The Fact that all characters are so obnoxious makes it an uncomfortable film. The dissection of each characters depravity is overwhelming in it's graphicness. But The Centre of The Film is The Protectiveness of The Male Sociopath for His Sibling I hope I can some day find The Jim Thompson Short Story but somehow I believe some story's only achieve Their True Identity when Turned into Film Billy Zane is Demonic. Sheryl Lee is Licentiously Seductive and not exactly Innocent!!! Gina Gershon The Ultimate Female Sub: For Billy Zane's Predatory Murderous Alpha Male. The Seduction of Lee by Zane is Startling in that it takes place in the The Middle of The Day in The Middle of A Busy Townscape. Violence is Commonplace and can erupt from almost nowhere Every One is Doomed and Upon A Roundabout of Damnation Welcome to The Underbelly of America.

VOGEL211 A young reporter has an incestuous relation with his twin sister who is working as a prostitute. Growing up in unkind circumstances after they became eye witnesses of a murder their father committed, the twins held even tighter to each other and the knowing mother was never disposed to intercept their relation. It is correct that the core story does not provide a great "pointe" but the stereotyped personalities are about to make the movie quite entertaining by creating some kind of suspense with, unfortunately, no determined Issue. The acting was quite good regarding the strange and sometimes absurd emotional actions of the characters. All in all, I wouldn't grant an Oscar but 8 points for keeping me close to the screen for 100 minutes

bibfor1987 this was one of the worst movies that i have seen in a long time. they should have shown rue mcclanahan more than they did because she stole every scene she was in and made it a little better. with more background and more info on this character the movie would have been better. she was the only character to really feel any compassion for in the whole movie.

l9rae This is an exceptional type of film. Strange and moody, bizarre in parts. It is a sort of Film Noir in color and very easy to watch. I love Billy Zane, and his performances always have a sprinkle of him in them. There are some odd twists and turns and the cinematograpy and costumes and very right on! If you are into 50's mysteries then this one may grab you.
