I absolutely loved it! I'm not into the thriller action movies but I was flipping through the channels today and I came to this movie on USA. I decided to watch it, little did I know that I was going to be so absorbed in it. I loved the way the story always had you thinking you knew who the murderer was but then the police found a new suspect. And speaking of police this movie was especially great because of Cadet Cutie Tony(Kevin Dillon)and Alicia Silverstone,who executed her catholic school-girl innocence well. Oh and the murderer turns out to be . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . you think I'm going to tell you,watch the movie and you'll find out!

An enjoyable movie that needed a good editor. If you can tolerate some slow parts, and ignore the sophomoric and silly dream sequences that clutter up the movie, it's very well acted by Silverstone and Dillon. Bottom line: it's a one hour movie wrapped in a 94 minute package, but the one hour inside is pretty darn good.

This is a good thriller despite the fact many critics panned it. Alicia Silverstone is excellent as the virginal Mary Giordano who wants to follow in her dead father's footsteps and become a police officer. Secretly investigating some recent teenage murders Alicia finds herself in mortal danger from a madman who knows more about her than she realizes. Billy Nunn is great as a cynical older Cop who knew Alicia's father and tries to tell the eager young woman she shouldn't romanticize crime. Aided and abetted by a sexy young cop played well by Kevin Dillon, Alicia is drawn into a web of deceit and desire that just might kill her if she is not careful. There is a wonderful sting in the tale that will shock you (if you don't work it out first) and the plot and acting is first rate. Another underrated film that deserves more merit than it is given.

I like most of the movies Alicia Silverstone is in. I thought this movie was entertaining but i can see it as just a tv movie, im not suprised it wasnt in the theatres. It is probably on the same level or a little bit better than the babysitter which also starred Alicia silverstone. Movie is about a girl who is fascinated and interested in crime and detective work. Soon a fellow classmate is murdered and she starts to investigate the case along with the police officer played by ( matt dillon). While shes investigating signs are pointing to dillan as the killer and then things get worse from there. This was a pretty good thriller and if you like this i recomend the crush and the babysitter as well. Overall good story.

High school girl who wants to be a detective like her father goes in over her head when she gets involved with one of the new deputies and ends up sticking her nose where she wishes she hadn't. Nice little thriller that flaunts it's name too many times in the beginning. Silverstone delivers as usual and the carnival scene, which is shorter than the video box describes, is the highpoint.

I stumbled across this movie on Lifetime Television this morning. What caught my attention initially is how much Kevin Dillon sounds so much like his brother Matt (vocally).
I liked it for a TV movie and I felt for Mary at the end as I think her character really didn't wanna believe the "twist" that was taking place.
Kevin makes a good bad boy that's for sure. Both him & Matt play bad duded pretty damn well and they're easy on the eyes too!
Granted I don't think alot of people might feel the same way but I thought it was a neat little thriller that told it's story well in 90 minutes.

All Alicia fans will be delighted with this if they have not seen it yet. She is at her adorable best and with a suspenseful story to boot, and an OK Devin Dillon as her co star. I don't know why this excellent film was ignored by critics, although probably because it was made for TV

Made-for-video mystery flick is outstanding. You never know who the murderer is until the very end. Alicia Silverstone is HOT! The best made-for-video flick I've seen so far. I saw this movie two summers ago on USA and kinda liked it. I saw it the second time and felt that it was an awesome mystery movie. I'd reccomend this for everybody who likes a good mystery movie. Some may like it and some may not. Outstanding acting and original storyline works like something came out of a "Nancy Drew" mystery novel.Suspensful and plenty of action.

A movie about a girl who is obsessed with crimes and loves solving them and helping the cops out. Until the murder of one of her friends, pushes her to find out who killed her, she recueves help from a Police Cadet Tony and they together try and solve the crime together. Until Mary (Alicia) becomes to close to the truth, then you'll be holding your breath toll the end.

The ending has always stuck with me. A young girl following her dad to the police force. Not a great movie, maybe not even very good. But a story good enough to tell.A collrctable movie.
