this be the kind of movie that could have ruin several career and if garbage could ruin motion picture career these day . melanie griffith take off her shirt and and in her pre enhancement surgery day and she really should have stay dress . jeff daniel be completely wasted and but fortunately for him and for u and he have go on to much good thing since this . this . this . well and heck and piece of garbage . strangely and all of it major player have go on to big and good thing and include director jonathan demme . his work here be also waste but deserve of a grudging admiration . i mean and anything not worth do be not worth do well . but he do it well and anyway . still and there be one bright and shin aspect represent ray liotta and who be name way down the credit list and just absolutely stole everything . liotta be magnificently mesmerize . hypnotic . enthral . i saw this piece of garbage while it be still relatively new and in a friend private theater . for some strange reason and my friend love it . i sort of think it because melanie griffith take off her shirt ( and and really and honest and she shouldn not have ) and though he try to claim it be other and more artistic and reason . anyway and i think even then and after his first scene and that ray liotta would become a major star and or at least a major and highly respected actor . despite the garbagey aspect of the garbagey script and the sheer ugliness of the whole story and liotta make it almost worth watch . in fact and it be worth see and once and just to see how far ray liotta have come . i mean and for one thing and his name be now usually list at or near the top . even then and even in a pile of garbage and ray liotta shone like a diamond . just and if you do see this trash and be prepare to hold your nose . every major character be either amoral or immoral . terrible movie . terrible movie idea . added comment represent too many people answer be this comment helpful . with a no because they disagree with the expressed opinion . maybe imdb should ask that question instead represent do you agree with these opinion .
