towards the end of this thriller ally sheedy gaunt latter day image be use creatively to make up more than one hauntingly evil image . she convince one that and if a nasty bette davis type role be to come her way and she could carry it off brilliantly . unfortunately and i can not find many other reason for see this . if you have wonder what sheedy look like in a pair of old fashion glass ( but why should anyone . ) then here your answer . for the rest and sally kirkland sex starve crazy woman be really tiresome and and even if you like this sort of thing more than i do you will have to admit that the tension sag badly during these scene . savage drunken brute of an insurance agent be equally distasteful but at least it a small role . of the leading actor and nicholas walker inspire no sympathy at all for paul keller plight and his acting be wooden . dara tomanovich be well and during her scene with sheedy the level rise a little . sheedy meticulous and understated performance ( though she often seem to be on automatic pilot ) be admirable in itself but out of context with the rest . the set be drab and the camera work undistinguished .
