a not completely lousy movie from george cosmatos . that say and the promise this movie have be never fulfil . what could have be a lewtonesque study of a man breakdown degenerate into a silly sub par horror film . peter weller play a career obsess banker who find himself become even more obsessed with get rid of a pesky rat that invade his swank brownstone ( actually more of a mod pad with a castle like facade ) . director cosmatos and never one know for show much tact and keep the game of cat and mouse interesting for a good while until it just get boring . frankly and this be the type of movie with a less be more approach would need a star far more compelling than weller . he not bad and but he be dull and his jokey dialog doesn not help . shannon tweed play his wife and look dynamite and but really have nothing to do . jennifer dale be ok a weller smite co worker . judge next to other cosmatos fare ( anyone for cobra . ) and it a masterwork .
