This film was recommended to me back in the nineties and I thought yeah I'll catch it on TV, but I've not been aware of it ever being broadcasted. In the end I had to buy an old VHS video of Amazon.
Was it worth it? Well yes I guess it was. But it is one of those films that you can pick at many holes but still find yourself being entertained. Of course it has the lovely Helen Hunt in it and in that hotel room well... sorry if I say that I will detract from the overall quality of my review.
I liked the story and its intention to portray interesting and flawed characters. What I struggled with was the editing. A lot of characters must have had scenes cut as their transition from one type of person to another was too brief. I wasn't always sure what experiences/interactions had changed their behaviour. Also the music annoyed me and made me think of the film as being made in the 1980s and not the 1990s.
However, apart from that an interesting story well acted and shot.
