Storyline

The Putnams, Roger ('Ian Buchanan') and Maria (Jennifer Gatti), continue an unstable marriage. She is unhappy at his obsessiveness and possessiveness and he continually suspects her of having an affair. On Tuesday and Thursday nights Maria is allowed out for a gym workout with their mutual friend and his work colleague, Linda (Dedee Pfeiffer) but she gets home so late that he presumes she is up to something behind his back. He hires private detective, John McClure (Ron Perlman) to find out if she is cheating and with whom. Meanwhile Linda discovers that Roger has been skimming from the company they work for. McClure brings evidence to Roger that his wife is indeed having an affair. Roger wants Maria's lover killed and asks McClure to help him.

User Reviews

Interesting twists.

A jealously possessive husband (Ian Buchanan) finds that his "girl in cotton wool" wife (Jennifer Gatti) is having an affair. He has a contract put out on the mystery boyfriend but the hit is botched and his wife is killed instead. Now he wants both the mystery boyfriend and the hit man dead…but who the "mystery boyfriend" and "hit man" turn out to be....

This film is TV movie quality with a nice twist at the end (50-50 chance you'll guess it). Has some semi graphic sex scenes and a short non-nudity rape sequence.

Ron Perlman has a supporting role as a private investigator with secrets both past and present and he imbues his character with a nice mix of regret and ruthlessness.

Favorite line(s): spoken by the husband to his and his wife's friend: "You would tell me if she were having an affair, wouldn't you?" her reply: "Would I tell her if you were having an affair?"

Worth a rent/buy used.
