bound by lie want to be an erotic thriller and a murder mystery . it fail because it be not very erotic and not very thrill and not very mysterious . the two star be rather over the hill for the genre . kristy swanson be still pretty and but by no mean as irresistible a she suppose to be here . she look really great in the mid 90 i wish she have do this kind of role then . i wish natassia malthe ( who play kristy assistant in this film ) have the leading role instead . and stephen baldwin be no alec and hell he no william either . stephen and kristy do it only once and and in that scene he show more than her . there be an irrelevant car chase in the beginning ( which be mostly lift from another film and accord to imdb trivia ) and and one good scene involve a handcuffed and tie baldwin in a bathtub and but other than that you would not find many thrill here . a for the mystery plot and make the most obvious suspect the actual killer can only be call unpredictably predictable . however and i still find the film watchable enough to give it half out of 4 star .
