Back when Sean Young burst onto the movie scene with roles in BLADE RUNNER and NO TURNING BACK, it seemed her star was really shining. Lo and behold, the sometimes competent actress is reduced to starring in a film like this. Ditto to William Devane, who for years entertained us on KNOTS LANDING, he too should fire his agent for getting him involved in this psychobabble mess.
Young plays a sexy psychoanalyst with unconventional techniques whose patients keep disappearing. Devane plays the father of a hot-tempered former boxer (a studly but untalented Will Schaub), who evidently was pretty cruel to his sons.
The plot is so contrived with a distraction of an unconnected murder, and the rest of the cast are reminiscent of community theater actors, and that's an insult to them.
More time is spent on showing naked women, some of them apparently bulemic or anorexic, and the whole thing is just a waste of time.

Okay, this is not a five star movie, but I felt compelled to counter the overly harsh reviews of this movie. There definitely is some bad acting, but that's one reason I enjoyed this movie....the other being Sean Young. You can't watch this movie for it's serious artistry, just like B movies. The ending also was somewhat of a surprise which is unusual for me. Normally I can figure out what's going to happen.

A mystery drama you can have fun with if you don't take it too seriously and can find it for cheap -- 2.75 stars out 5.

This is the worst movie to ever be made in the history of movies. However, if you like softcore porn, you may actually enjoy this because that is about all there is to it. I would have to say there is more plot in porn movies than this movie. The plot is ridiculous and the acting is terrible. After you watch it, you don't know whether to laugh or cry that you actually spent the money on it. I have seen some really bad movies but this has to be the worst. No joke... However, if you don't heed my advice and you do buy this movie you can always use the disc as a frisbee for your dog or a coaster to put your drinks on. Personally, I'd set it on fire and see how fast it burns. That would be more entertaining than what this film had to offer.
