Movie Info

In this high-tension thriller, Christopher Reeves plays Dempsey Cain, a paralyzed detective (ironically, it was filmed a year before the tragic accident that would make him a quadriplegic) whose arrogance and penchant for perfectionism has alienated his family to the point that his wife Gail (Kim Cattrall) turns to his brother Nick (Edward Kerr) for love. Nick is also a cop, but unlike Dempsey, he tends to be irresponsible and sloppy. It was he who was responsible for Dempsey's paralysis.

Shadows on the Wall

Co-written by Jerry Lazarus and William H. Macy, there's a nice surprise ending supplied, plus Cattrall's in the buff practicing for her upcoming Sex and the City role, Kerr is a hunky villain, and Reeve's nicely subdued in a role he thought he would neve
