Paulina is extremely talented


I really enjoyed this movie, inparticular the character Dallas. I'm really impressed at how Paulina just entirely became her and was totally convincing as that person.

Casey and Nick were authentic characters too, glad I found this one.

I'd be very interested in seeing Paulina act in other things!!

I really, this is really a forgotten little gem... The fact that the movie is nearly impossible to find doesn't help...

By the way, it took me a long while to realize that the distraught and upset and undeniably sympathetic woman in the video for The Cars' 1984 song "Drive" is in fact Paulina Porizkova, the same actress who played the bad girl Dallas here.

To think that 14 years later she went from that role in the music video to that of the bad girl here is kinda mind boggling. Because in the video for the song, you feel nothing other than compassion and sorrow for her, you could NEVER bring yourself to hurt her or hate her in any way.

The same cannot, well, not quiet at least can be said about her character in this movie.

In fact, here, its almost as if her victim, the male character Casey by Thomas Jane, in fact swapped places with her and placed himself in her position from The Cars' song video.

The greatest trick the Devil has ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist!
