This movie stars Dale Midkiff and the gorgeous Beth Toussaint who sadly we do not see enough of in movis these days. Dale and Beth are a couple of con artists - Dale does the seducing while Beth takes photos and blackmails the mark. This movie's plot has more twists and turns that an L.A. Freeway and you can never gues what will happen next which is the sign of a good Suspense/Thriller.

I saw this film on the Lifetime channel, back in 1992. Excellent suspence thriller. Dale Midkiff, Susan Blakley,Beth Toussaint and John Saxon were great. But the REAL TREAT was MAC DAVIS, as "Norm". He was
the real Evil one. The film's musical score helped to add more suspence to the story, as well as surround the film with a seductive flavor. For a tv movie, I'd give it 5 stars! In fact, I liked it so much I bought it in the late 1990's. The story line is about two con-artists putting the
"make" on rich people. Midkiff seduces the women, while Tousaint takes pictures as Midkiff performs his "act" on his victim, these pictures are the "blackmailing" of the vicims's husband(partner). The story then twists with the arrival of "Norm", played by Mac Davis. Talk about raunchy and evil! Norm, in turn "blackmails" the con-artists, by keeping their stash in exchange for information on their past 'cons'. I won't devulge anymore, but to say this film is really "good". Enjoy, if you purchase it.

Two words- SUSAN BLAKELY!! Watching her blood red nails dig into her lovers back is so salivating, it makes this tired flick palatable. A gangster's wife (Blakely) is frightened to learn that her steamy affair has been photographed, making her the object of blackmail. Forget the plot. Watch Susan Blakely seduce every man in the world.
