Quotes:

Stephen Primes: [Danny Zerbo follows Stephen to his vehicle] I'll keep you in mind. I already got an investigator that handles most of my stuff exclusively, but...never know when I'll have an overflow.
[chuckles]
Danny Zerbo: You don't seem to get it. I got a case, and you're the object of it.
[steps into Stephen's car]
Stephen Primes: Nice boots. I got mine down in Nogales. I could give you the guy's name. He doesn't...
Danny Zerbo: Hey! I'm gonna talk to you about Beth Knowlton. Now I wanna say this real clear so you understand. Back off, Slick. Way off.
Stephen Primes: Beth can make her own decisions about who she wants to be with.
Danny Zerbo: She already has. Leave her alone.
Stephen Primes: This is Beth's mother, isn't it? She's the one that hired you. Mr. Zerbo, this is one confused and very lonely lady. She didn't tell you she was interested in me way before I even met Beth, did she? No. You see, the judge simply couldn't handle my being with Beth instead of with her. It's typical of a reaction. You know women, so before you say another thing, I suggest you look there before you find yourself in a really sticky situation. *Legally* sticky, if you know what I mean.
Danny Zerbo: [shakes his head] You're a confused fellow in a lot of ways, Mr. Primes, so I'm just gonna say this once, and consider yourself warned. This is not about what the mother wants. It's about what the girl wants. Beth. She's a nice kid. Too nice to tell you to your face that she thinks you're weird and scary.

Not bad.

This movie is pretty good with a nice cast.

Brooke Langton performed well as Beth Knowlton, a college girl who is being stalked by an older man. Jere Burns, the older man, has the right qualities and look about him that makes him seem like a...weirdo. That's the only word to describe him. Anyway, Langton plays the second half of the movie good when she finally catches on to Primes' little game. Joanna Cassidy who plays Beth's mom is semi-interesting to watch. And the rest of the cast does fairly good as well.

It's a pretty basic idea but it is still good to watch. The little things that Primes' character does shows us that stalkers will go to any lengths to get what they want. And you never know, but you might be in the eye of a stalker.
