Very good movie.Well acted and written.Jeremy London
as usual is my favorite one and his portrayal of the
tragically naive and loyal Danny Wells is extemely well
crafted and acted out.Eight out of five stars.

Eight out of five stars? Lol why would anyone even rate a film five stars anyway?!
Go to the loo, 'cause all the *beep*'s coming out your mouth instead of your a-hole...
Cause there are alot of prime cuts out there.Wizzzzzzzz!
What's a prime cut? And why does it apply? I always go for out of ten, bigger range.

Yes, it was surprisingly well done for a network TV movie. Sexy and naughty and very suspenseful. I also thought of it as a sort of late-twentieth century suburban film noir, especially given the "train-wreck" ending, where the criminal becomes more degraded as the law closes in.
I thought it was particularly reminiscent of DOUBLE INDEMNITY, a black-and-white 1944 melodrama that I watched in a film class over 10 years ago. That film also had a man and a woman conspiring to murder someone for the insurance money, and like BAD TO THE BONE it's all told from the point of view of the man, who is doomed even before he begins narrating his story.
Still,poor naive Danny has to be in prison where if he's
lucky he'll be 70-s if he ever gets out where if I were him
I would prefer staying in the prison till I died.But that's
just me.
Yeah, well....that's better than what happened to Fred McMurray, who played the "Danny"-type role in the similar DOUBLE INDEMNITY. He spends the whole movie slowly dying of a gunshot wound! (Necessarily, the movie's told in flashback.) Even worse, the woman who helped set him up in the first place is the one who shot him!

Well,look at it like this his suffering would end long after Danny
Wells is still in prison!
Not necessarily. Think: Danny'd be one of the few white boys in the prison, and probably the ONLY suburban boy. That's like being tied to a dead buffalo carcass in hyena country. He probably didn't last a month.

There are fates worse than death and fictionally speaking I hope
Frankie gets to experience them all before she dies.
