Stilted
Very stiff, cliched film, which you're sure you've seen before. Might have made a better Lifetime feature of the week. Reminded me of Red Rock West, which was done 15 years ago. Brian Dennehy was excellent as a private investigator, living at the Salton Sea, who finally solves the puzzle. Julian Sands is wasted with his English accent and slow, halting dialogue. He is not convincing when confronting his wife, played by Rebecca Pidgeon, or when fighting with the really bad guy, played by Alano Massi. Not much to recommend this film, not even the scenery, set mostly in and around Palm Springs. Rent one of the Die Hard movies instead.
