This thriller is an entertaining film with complicated twists, character traits and plot angles that are more confusing than they need to be. Alec Baldwin, Nicole Kidman and Bill Pullman are the headliners and this strange triangle is the background for the story. Some of the scenes are contrived and red herrings abound but somehow the film manages to pull its many threads together and weave into an entertaining movie. Baldwin and Kidman, it turns out, are more than just passing friends, and Pullman is right on in a familiar role as a clueless good guy. George C. Scott and Anne Bancroft have nice cameo appearances. The picture has a nice New England ambiance and a nice music score by Jerry Goldsmith.
