Dies und das:

Sean Young signed on after Bridget Fonda quit the production.

Pannen:

Faktische Fehler: When Ellen and Jonathan take the injured homeless woman to the hospital, Ellen talks to a nurse and offers to pay the bill. First, the nurse is wearing a stiff white cap and uniform. Most nurses, especially in the ER, had stopped wearing this type of uniform by the time the film was set. Also, she gives the nurse the money for the bill. Nurses do not handle billing and collection in hospitals. Plus, she didn't seem to know how much the bill was. And no receipt?

Dialogzitate:

Nurse: She's got two broken ribs, a broken jaw, and a bad concussion. We're going to keep her overnight for observation.

Totally awful. I expected more.

As one of my favorite cartoon characters once said, "It was awful. Worse than awful. It reeked. It oozed badness from every pore...Well, maybe not THAT bad, but Lord it wasn't good." Loads of bad acting. I can't imagine why. Matt Dillon is a good actor. I was actually watching to see Ben Browder (currently of Farscape). Even he was less than stellar. I'll attribute it to bad writing (Ouch! And me an aspiring writer). At any rate, the plot of the movie was acceptable. I like a good murder mystery (even if it wasn't that much of mystery to the audience). This is definitely a movie that would have benefited from a better director, writer, editor, producer, etc.
