I really liked it...., 10 February 2002
Author: Greg Dark (darker9106) from Long Beach Ca,

This movie was such a surprise. All of the performances were excellent.

It is interesting to note that everyone in this movie is up to no good in some way except for the secretary. I recommend watching this movie when there is nothing else on TV to watch or nothing else to rent on video. All in all, don't pass this one up. I really mean it. You will hate Dabney Colemans wife in this film!
