recap represent zandalee be a young woman that feel more and more trapped in her marriage with thierry . thierry himself be struggle with the death of his father the previous year and have lose his way . he have submerge himself in work and laid of his writing and and zandalee desperately miss the attraction between them . into this enters johnny and and old friend of thierry who once be artist in exile together . but johnny have keep on painting and and just have a day job for the rent . he take the day a it come and leave tomorrow to it destiny . there be an instant raw attraction between zandalee and johnny and and they enter into an affair . but zandalee struggle with her lust to be desire and her conscience and love for her husband . but none of them and not zandalee and not johnny and not thierry can stop the relationship between them to spin totally out of control . comment represent it be set a a thriller . but maybe more a thriller of heart than a normal thriller where it about life and death and and threat of violence . not that a thriller of heart can not take on fatal proportion and but the threat come from a different angle . and it be not really until the second half in zandalee until the thriller emerge and and even though the foundation for it be lay in the first half and i can not really describe the genre a a thriller then . much more of a romantic drama than anything else and but with the underlie current of other genre . the develop thriller be there and but it also have more than a little tint of a sensual erotic kind . because that be what it be all about and what drive the character and therefore the entire story . desire . the need to have and and the need to be . in my opinion it be quite good and definitely a lot good than it current ( 4 . 1 ) rating anyway . it take it time but it grow a good feeling of suspense and and it handle the erotic part very well and with taste . it be always an integral part of the story and need to be there to give the story it need weight and and i never felt it be an excuse to show a naked breast or anything like that . but unfortunately the climax of the story come well before the end and and the end itself feels kind of flat and even if in it own way kind of dramatic . the cast be impressive and spearhead by known actor like nicholas cage and judge reinhold . but the show be almost completely steal by erika anderson . beautiful and very adept at act out the sometimes subtle feeling of desire and she excels be both cage and reinhold sometimes go a bot overboard and become a little rough . her career afterward be too thin for the talent she show in zandalee and i can only hope it be because of her own choice . also two personal favorite appear in small role that give some extra edge to the movie and it be steve buscemi and joe pantoliano . when youre in the right mood this be a very good movie and it could have use another end to get the credit it really deserve . positive .
