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

Sporting a ridiculous plot with unbelievable twists in the last 20 minutes, EXCEPTION TO THE RULE becomes a bore quickly because the protagonist is quite dumb and you can predict what will happen next during the first 3/4 of the film.
Kim Cattrall is stuck with a dumb villainess role, Sean Young phones in her performance (she has so little to do, who can blame her), and William Devane is his usual self. Eric McCormack works waaay too hard at times trying to be intense, and he's not a bundle of leading man charm.
