Storyline

Tim and Angela Bayer's marriage has had its share of rough spots, but things seem alright for the time being. Tim has a good job working in Angela's father's diamond business, and the couple are expecting their first child. Their world comes crashing down around them, however, when Tim meets and spends a passionate night in the arms of a beautiful and alluring stranger, Carla Rainer. The following morning, as guilt-ridden Tim tells Carla that their one-night affair will never be repeated, he assumes the incident is behind him. Soon after the fateful night, Tim's life begins to spiral out of control. First, he receives a videotape in the mail showing him making love to Carla. Next, Tim's father-in-law invites Angela and him to a business dinner with a prospective client. This turns out to be Carla posing as another woman. Shaken, Tim agrees to meet privately with Carla, who threatens to destroy his family unless he turns over to her a large shipment of diamonds his father-in-law has ... Written by Anonymous

Very average film
27 November 2002 | by See all my reviews

This movie is just about allright. I think that Kim Cattrall does well as the deadly merciless hitwoman. But Eric Mcormack is below par as the leading male. Sean Young is also decent as the wife who is the target of Kim Cattrall's murderous intentions.

The plot get's a little tedious and comes to a very predictable end.
