Is this is your genre -- tension-filled, gritty drama, get ready to need a full body massage after you watch this one. You will be on the edge of the couch from minute one, as the stakes never stop escalating and the twists keep coming. Throw in some kinky sex, clever humor, and some unique examination of reverse prejudice, not usually explored... and you've got a recipe for muscle ache. But in a good way. : ) Enjoy.

This could very well be the worse movie ever made. The writing is grade school at best and all the Black characters are over-sexed and mindless. The white character however, is the most rational one. Now there's a surprise. It's interesting how Black people have finally accepted decades upon decades of stereotypes and now regurgitate them for a buck. This movie makes 'Soul Plane' look like a masterpiece. Okay, maybe not, but just the same, bypass this film and read 'The Challenge of Blackness' by Lerone Bennett. There's a chapter in there entitled 'The Task of the Black Artist' that means just as much today as it did back then.

Hey you get to see Debra Wilson's from Mad TV bare (...). I've been waiting a long time for that.

With so many murders, one is driven to watch this movie, BUT the characters are simply not believable. Four stars for the story but NO stars for the characters.

This movie has similarities to the 1987 thriller, "Fatal Attraction", starring Glenn Close and Michael Douglas, in that the husband has an affair with a psycho, who's name is also Alex, just like Glenn Close's character. Once the cheating husband finds out who he's dealing with, he's in too deep. The similarities stop there because this one has a lot more guessing games as to whodunnit and the ending is a straight up shocker. I thought Steve White and Debra Wilson gave stand out performances. They played their roles like I've never seen them play before. Really worth a watch.

Low budget movie with a great story. Pushes your buttons on race, sex, relationships, marriages, and friendships. Grabs
you on the opening scene and never lets go.

What in the hell was this? I couldn't even watch the rest of the movie only after watching 20 mins of this crap. I can't believe I wanted to add this movie to my collection of Black films. This was nothing but lesbianism and sex. No story line at all. Junk, junk, junk. Don't get this movie PLEASE.

I saw this movie a few years ago on cable. I liked it so much I had to own it.

This film had a good story/plot, although at times the acting left lots to be desired. The situations were realistic, but too much emphasis was placed on serveral aspects and should have been toned down a bit.

Overall, I enjoyed this film and would recommend it to others.

Very good! I enjoyed the movie so much I've added it to my dvd collection!
