Memorable, crazy movie
hyped garbage
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Joe Penny does a great job in this movie. Playing the bad guy Joe gives another fantastic performance. Pretending to be the long lost brother Joe's character spins the web at every turn. He has to do whatever he can to "protect" his new life and brings even more trouble as the story line goes on.For anyone who is a Joe Penny fan, if you haven't seen this one by all means watch it! Joe always does great no matter what character or story he is in and this is another one that speaks to his talent.Veronica Hamill also does great as a lawyer who wishes to find her long lost brother. She thinks she has but what she doesn't realize is the trouble ahead when trusting someone who is not what they seem to be.
Seeing Joe Penny in anything is a treat. Here is plays a not so nice guy out to no good. By doing away with a stranger that he takes the place of as a missing brother to our leading lady, played by Veronica Hamill. Wish she'd get another hair do. Her hair is jet black and hangs straight down her face making her look like Vampira. Not attractive. A little long in the tooth for such long hair. But Penny makes up for this. He's wonderful as he spins his web of violence to the fateful end. Nice to see Leigh Taylor Young, even though it's briefly, as a hot to trot lady out to get her man. And Daniel Hugh Kelly plays Hamill's boyfriend cop very well doing what he can to help her in her troubles. But, it's Penny that makes this movie a hit.
