Does anyone feel sorry for Ms. Berkley?




For having to appear in such crap.

The script was so bad, that for a while I thought it was a parody, like FATAL INSTINCT. (On one of the villain's fake ID cards, his last name is given as "Ravine" - like in "Ned Ravine.")

The plot is a mishmosh of BODY HEAT, FATAL ATTRACTION, and BASIC INSTINCT. (There's a scene where the bad guy echos the "no smoking " Sharon Stone scene.)

I love Elizabeth Berkley - but she's such an INCOMPETENT actress that in a weird kind of way, she has an irresistably sweet vulnerable charm. Makes me want to hug and protect her.
