It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Allison Davies
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Ross MacDonald detective yarn becomes above-average TV-made vehicle for Farrah Fawcett, playing lawyer from the Los Angeles Public Defenders office who is assigned an assembly-line case of a naive nurse arrested for trafficking stolen goods that quickly turns into a complicated web of murder, kidnapping, and another out of work actor in Hollywood gone wrong. Modern-day pulp amusingly retains all the standard noir clichés (saxophones on the soundtrack, stern yet wistful voice-over at the beginning and end, a glove compartment full of old parking tickets, et al.). Fawcett is appealingly tough yet personable in the lead; A Martinez, as a cop who helps Farrah solve the case, is appropriately hunky but questionable as a credible love-interest (scowling throughout, he's more dangerous-seeming than romantic); Cliff DeYoung, never a strong actor, does all right as a judge. The film has some puzzling red herrings, an overly-complicated second-half--with too many fishy characters--yet the L.A. locations are well-captured and the gritty script has sharp dialogue.

Farrah Fawcett and A. Martinez star in this sweaty thriller that's pretty edgy for a tv film. Not yet available on video, catch this if you can on cable for a twisty plot. Fawcett is a lawyer and Martinez is the sexy cop trying to protect her with her latest case.

Overly involved mildly interesting crime plot with a contrived, trite, and uninteresting subplot involving a romantic relationship between the main character and a cop. Occasionally nice photos of buildings in LA area.Altogether, a waste of time. 4* out of 10*.
