Based on True Story - Sir Harry Oakes - The Bahamas Murder

This article was more interesting to read than watching this awful and boring movie.
Now I could see what director Nicholas Roeg was trying to do but = BIG FAIL.
I thought the most boring part was when Theresa Russell's character was giving her long winded and flowery statement in court.
It seemed to go on for ages. I quickly fast forwarded past that.

Reason's for thinking this would be a good film; Eureka's actors - Gene Hackman and Rutger Hauer and
Roeg's previous films - "Walkabout" 1971 and Castaway 1986,

Eureka is an example how films can fail even by reputable directors.
I totally agree with this poster's review;
