User Reviews

Nothing special but it is enjoyable

This is based on a real-life case and was made before as a TV movie in the 80s with Judd Nelson starring. This has higher production values and can boast Kevin Spacey in the cast, although boast may be the wrong word these days. Still whatever else may be said of him he's a great actor and I always enjoy seeing him.

Not a bad little movie, I'd recommend it.
