| User ReviewTigress .This somewhat "obscure" movie is one of my favorites of all time. Ashley Judd delivers nothing less than perfection in her role as Pam, a psychologically disturbed young woman who can't and won't "settle down," and Luke Perry keeps up with her in his role as Chris, the ever-devoted loyal family man and by-the-book cop. Chris tries futilely to tame Pam, finally giving in her to her whims, only to end up doing the unthinkable. This film is tragic but beautiful, and will not leave you bored. A thrill ride from start to finish. A must-see that most have not seen, unfortunately. |
| User ReviewRavioli TA film about a down on their luck couple that start robbing banks in order to pay the bills. Ashley Judd gives a great performance in this film. Luke Perry is also very good in this film. Is it me or does director John McNaughton like to do depressing and disturbing films? He also did Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer |
| User ReviewJosh SSweetly naturalistic, well-acted mundane crime movie by John McNaughton. Ashley Judd and Luke Perry and excellent. Why don't we have twenty of these movies every year? |
