Featured review
Deserves better rating
For long time this movie was in my watchlist and finally have watched it.
Both Richard Gere and Diana Lane's (especially) performances are astonishing.
Story is has taken me quickly because what Connie experienced is quite from the life and all people can do wrong sometimes.
On the other hand there are implausible parts in the story especially after Edward finds out.
Nice continuation of 90's erotic thrillers.
