I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Best movie ever!
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Anything with Beals is ok. Even the cheesiest ones.
I first bought this film because I'm a jennifer Beals fan. I enjoyed the film very much. The interaction between Jennifer Beals character and that above her husband was very well done.
In the five years they have been married "Harry," (James Wilder) has been unfaithful to "Julia" (Jennifer Beals) only once. He has regretted it ever since but Julia still hasn't come to terms with it. As a result, although she still loves him, she has a problem being intimate with him. Enter a female entity known as the "Night Owl" who appears on a radio program and gets into the minds of lonely men and entices them to their death. Anyway, because it was a made-for-television movie I didn't honestly expect much from it. But it turned out to be a pretty good film all the same. I liked the performance of Jennifer Beals and the way she and James Wilder managed to convey their fragile love for each other. And while the special effects weren't anything to get excited about I still thought they were adequate for the most part. In short, while this film isn't necessarily one that will have you on the edge of your seat, it's still probably good enough for the time spent to view it.
This film opens up with great helicopter photography flying over New York City and over the Brooklyn Bridge and close ups of the former Twin Towers along with fantastic jazz music. James Wilder, (Harry) is an outstanding saxophone jazz player who is married to Jennifer Beals,(Julia) who are having a problem with their marriage because Harry had an affair and Julia does not trust him any longer. There is a Radio DJ called the Night Owl who has a very sexy voice and seems to drive all her male listeners up the walls. A piano player in Harry's band listens to this Night Owl and all of a sudden he jumps to his death because this voice in his head drove him completely crazy. This film is rather way out and I do not recommend viewing it.
