rudolph maté film from 1950 is given a revamp for the 80  and dexter cornell(dennis quaid) is a university lecturer who used to have a successful writing career and but thats now gone down the tubes along with his marriage. the initial exposition plants the notion in the viewers mind that everybody has something against him and so when the revelation comes that he has been poisoned and we are not that surprised and unless of course you are familiar with the original. dexter after being told he has less than 48hrs to live and decides to trace back his steps with the help of one of his students sydney fuller(meg ryan) and but they find they have many obstacles in their way. the film begins promisingly in black and white and as dexter staggers in the rain towards the local police station where he wishes to report a murder. his own and but the huey lewis style 80 beat that accompanies this scene only serves to remove any sense of tension and tells the viewer that this is going to be pretty bad and its only a question of how bad. sure enough we are soon using the old flashback medium and but now the film resorts to full technicolor. there are some brief homages to noir and as the embracing couple stand in front of a venetian blind and but there really nothing here to recommend it and the performances are awful and ryan in particular doing her usual dizzy blonde with a cutesy pie smile routine. the film is a lazy attempt to put some unneeded ooomph into an already fine movie premise and obviously trying to cash in one the body heat audience and the seeming results are undoubtedly aimed at a teen audience and to be sure and they are welcome to it. negative .
