    Watchable performances, weak script

    The plot, to say the least, is confusing: a man and a woman playing the old badger game get caught up in a web of sleuthing, multiple identities, and shifting loyalties that leave the viewer wondering what happened. It's hard to find a "good guy" character to root for. Nevertheless, the performances are quite watchable, especially Bobbie Phillips in the lead--she can act, and she's not afraid of a little nudity (full frontal, in fact), nor should she be, as she's drop-dead gorgeous, and has a wonderful set of breasts. (If that's a blatantly sexist observation--well, it's also a true one.) The other actor who compels one to watch is the always dependable Stephen McHattie, he of the evil grin, who shines as the "mastermind" of the whole weird mess. These two actors should be offered roles in far better films than this! Oh, and if you do watch it, you'll get the impression that Robert Wagner gets prominent billing due to his name, rather than his limited footage, and you'll be right, but he does have his moment, very near the end. Performances by the above actors: 8.5 out of 1O. Film as a whole: 4 out of 1O.

    Bobbie Phillips ONLY reason to watch!

    I thought Bobbie's performance was wonderful throughout but, I was not impressed with the two male actors. Robert Wagner was good,as usual. As were most of the supporting actors. I must say though that there was not a lot of believability in the 'Martin' character. He just yelled through the whole film. The 'Tony' character was better but, came off weak next to Bobbie's presence. The film had an interesting plot but,overall had a tv movie of the week feel. Especially the music. I would say,any fan of Bobbie Phillips' will be happy to see her wonderful performance. But will probably think, "When will Bobbie get a film worthy of her talent?".

    Two Words: Bobbie Phillips!

    The movie was okay. Nothing spectacular, unless you look at Bobbie Phillips. Man she is hot. I'm surprised she hasn't been in more and better films. This movie is okay. The constant double crosses keep you guessing. It's your average grifter conning another crook film. The only reason to rent this is to see Bobbie Phillips and that is about it.

    Bobbie makes it worth seeing...

    Although I became a fan of Bobbie Phillips' watching her in action roles "Chameleon" and "The Crow", she proves to be an actress with extensive acting talent. She is superb in all the roles she plays in this film. The film, I thought,was okay but a little slow. Maybe because I'm a big action fan. Even so, I enjoyed watching Ms. Phillips' performance so much I have to give the film an 8 out of 10.

    Bobbie Phillips Kills!

    Bobbie Phillips turned in a wonderful performance in this film. As I watched, I realized she WAS the film. Her believability made instances which could have been sketchy, come across with sincerity that sold the film for me. The film has an interesting plot twist as well. Robert Wagner, it appears hasn't changed since "Hart to Hart". Overall, I enjoyed the film.
