This is a really bad film, I watched it to the end just to see what happens but then felt I had wasted a couple of hours of my life on this dross. Bryan Brown acting is worse than a child in a nativity play. At times he over acts and at other times seems more wooden than his office desk. Terri Hatcher is the only thing worth watching this for, simply for her beauty.
The plot is just plain silly, the guy is supposed to be a pretty good lawyer but his plot to get rid of his wife had more holes than a packet of Polo's.
He plans to murder his wife and to cover his tracks has an affair with a friend of his wife. Which any lawyer would have seen as motive to murder his wife. His so called Alibi was also silly. He takes his wife to a remote place, books in so the lodge owners see him and his wife, then he kills her and makes sure they see him and only him drive away. His genius is letting Terri Hatcher pretend to be his wife (even though she looks not even remotely like the wife) It all falls apart when the secretary (who was married all along to a criminal), herself gets killed by her husband. Then the woman brown had the fling with reveals that she knows he killed his wife and won't let him go, she has power to help him become a judge. To cap it all his wife had changed her will and left the murdering husband nothing. So a lawyer who can't plan a murder. That's about the film. Badly acted, directed and a woolly script. Give this film a miss.
