Minor TV movie
Added 8/14/2002
A minor suspense film. Looks like it was made-for-cable. Okay acting. An architect, visiting LA on business, is terrorized by an unseen enemy (who may be an angry road rage trucker). The detectives investigating the incidents are especially poorly portrayed: flatly written and performed with boredom. And the prostitute with a heart of gold is sexy, but her role is just silly. The sets and characters kept reminding me of The Landlady, a more boring film, that also had a prostitute living across the hall from the protagonist. The wife is played by Dana Wheeler-Nicholson (who was great in Circuitry Man), who seems to have shot her few scenes in one day, in the same room (aside from a shot at the end). I'm giving it a generous three stars because it was still entertaining, in a low-brow/low-budget sort of way.

Pretty Good Suspenseful B-Movie
Added 8/6/2008
Another B-movie from Rob Lowe with a zing for anyone who wants a somewhat predictable, but interesting movie from our favorite west wing moron. It's nothing new from all of Rob's other movies except there's more actions in this one.
BTW, the hooker from next door isn't what you'd call a good person. She just adds some spice to the movie and doesn't stray too far from what you'd expect.
See it if you have nothing better to do or just want to feel smart about your cinema instincts.
