Second time watching, still not a good 90s thriller and there wasn't enough of a mystery element to sustain its usually adequate 100-minute running time, and probably 15-20 minutes could have been shaved off. However, nice seeing Goldie Hawn in a non-comedic role and John Heard has his moments. The finale at least was entertaining, most everything before was really slow and dry. 2.5/5
