This is a by the numbers erotic thriller about a man who is released from a mental hospital after he attempted to kill the woman he was with because...well he is crazy.
The movie opens with a convict in jail telling a story. The convict is Sean (Josh Holloway) and he has some real anger and hate issues. An attorney named Phil Cross (Jeff Fahey) has been called in by Sean's father to get him out of jail.
Cross manages to pull this off and Sean is once again out and a free man. Meanwhile Cross is very cold to his beautiful wife Linda (Nastassja Kinski).
Sean manages to get a job where Linda works and he seduces her because Sean works on married, unhappy women. Linda tells Sean it was a mistake and that they cannot be together. Sean goes into a rage and seeks revenge on Linda.
There are a lot of twists nand turns in this film, and I won't spoil the ending by saying anything more about what goes on. The movie moves along at a good clip and I noticed that it gets a lot of negative press. It's no worse than any other movie like it.
The best part of the film however is Kinski. She is in her prime here and as beautiful of a woman as has ever graced the silver screen. I watched this because I saw she was in it. I liked it.
