Factual errors: Angela Beale is said to "be licensed to have a gun". In 1998, the state of California did not require that gun owners be licensed. A permit must be obtained to carry a concealed weapon and assault weapons must be registered, but no other licenses need be obtained. more

One of the best movies you've never heard of, 6 January 1999
10/10
Author: Miller13 from Boston

This has great elements of suspense, drama, law, sex and comedy and some great actors in Garner and Gershon. The others make it a great cast and a great movie that you'll remember. It's just a great one.
