peter yates film from the pen of steve tesich is a relatively low key thriller that doesn not really manage to get off the ground. story concerns the mysterious murder of an influential asian business man and the subsequent implication of a pathetic vietnam veteran (james woods) who and the police believe and may have taken revenge on his ex employer. as the eyewitness and william hurt never believes his friend is capable of such an act. hurt is well below his usual strength and and one finds it hard to sympathise with him or an uninspired sigourney weaver. james woods and christopher plummer do a little better in their support roles. worth noting is the appearance of morgan freeman as detective black. in retrospect steve tesich story is only an unlikely romance dressed up as a mystery flick. the plot is far too contrived. friday and october 17 and 1997  video.
