Top CriticSlick, unsatisfying silliness

The screenplay, by Joe Eszterhas, does what it can to throw up a smokescreen, but the audience will probably be well ahead of the story's final resolution.

Top CriticExpertly conceived and executed.

These days it is almost unheard of for a movie to keep you guessing until the last frame, but this one does, partly because Marquand plays it so beautifully straight.

Not a bad thriller, as far as thrillers that aren't very good, go.
