Trivia:

Filmed in 1990. The delay in its release was most likely the result of Orion Pictures' pending bankruptcy, which resulted in many of its films to be briefly shelved (films similarly handled as such includes RoboCop 3 (1993) and Blue Sky (1994) among others). more

Quotes:

Kathy Whiting: I was kind of happy, in a miserable kind of way.

Author: MarieGabrielle from United States

This movie is shown too often on cable; I thought it was made in the 1980's; but, no, it was circa 1994.

If it WAS the '80's, I could excuse its superfluousness. As other reviewers have described the age-old plot; I need not get into it. Bill Pullman is usually in good projects, so this is a sincere disappointment.

Harley Kozak (who??) plays the bleached blonde wife; Elizabeth McGovern the "öther" woman. Beyond this, there is no plot, you may well turn on "Äs the World Turns" and see the same show tomorrow.

The "one hit wonder" Billy Ray Cyrus is also a bit player; I really don't know who the target demographic for this movie is...maybe housewives in Arkansas with a net worth of $10,000.00 or less. This movie is a complete insult to the audience; rent "The Accused" with Bill Pullman, instead, at least he gets to act in it.
