Two men try to cover up an accident with a lie and find that the lie makes the accident seem that much worse in this tense drama. Paul Venters (Craig Sheffer) is a self-centered plastic surgeon who is soon to be married to beautiful Susan (Gabrielle Anwar), but doesn't get along very well with his fiancée's family, particularly Susan's brother Marty (Corey Haim), an ex-con who is trying to stay clean after beating a nasty drug habit.

Cracking good story!

Although this is a B-movie it has a great plot. The story moves at a cracking pace and keeps the tension throughout. The acting is consistently good (for a B-movie!) and the chemistry between the two leads is believable. Even the love-interest, in this case Gabrielle Anwar is interesting enough and able to hold her own against the boys.

Why can't Hollywood make more of these and less of the dogs?
