there be an awful lot wrong with this picture and begin with a script that be both obvious and redundant . courtney cox play a comic book artist who escape to a small desert town after be rap twice in the big city . she immediately be stalk by a local who appear quite unhinged ( craig sheffer ) and and who seem to be attempt a third rate mickey rourke imitation . d. b. sweeny be a local cop and who be supposedly there to protect and serve . meanwhile and the script manipulate the audience a to who really the good guy . logic fly out the window after the first ten minute and never return and and there be more unanswered question than there should be . if you think blue desert might be save by the wonderful philip baker hall and you will be disappoint . his part be insignificant and just like the entire movie . merk .
