Roy Scheider stars as Harry Mitchell, a very successful businessman whose wife is thinking of running for political office. Harry is having an affair with a much younger woman named Cini (Kelly Preston) who works in a strip club.
When he goes to her apartment he is blindsided by three men who have been video taping his movements so they can blackmail him. Harry is finally forced to tell his wife Barbara (Ann-Margret) about his little affair and it does some bad damage to their alreadt fragila marriage.
Harry refuses to give in to the demands of the three blackmailers and everyone gets involved ina game of cat and mouse. Hary slowly turns the three on each other in a very clever way,
This is a fast moving thriller that has some startling violence and great set pieces. Vanity is sexy as hell in the role of Doreen, the friend of Cini and girlfriend of one of the blackmailers. She stands out in every scene.
The rest of the cast is excellent and includes John Glover (in an outstanding performance as a psycho), Robert Trebor, Lonny Chapman, Doug McClure, Clarence Williams III and Amber Lynn.
There is no doubt this film will hold your attention. It's not for everyone, but I would recommend that if you haven't seen it you should.
