I am surprised that this excellent movie rated only a 6.9. In my view this is a superb suspense drama which expertly captures the feeling of the walls closing in on Dan Gallagher as a result of his supposedly one night (OK, one weekend) stand. All the the leads are excellent, including Ellen Gatzen, who plays the young daughter superbly. The script is excellent, and carries us along with a sense of foreboding inevitability. Michael Douglas perfectly expresses Dan's sorrowful regret, just as Anne Archer portrays Beth's anguish and steely determination. I have no doubt that anyone choosing to view this flick will not be disappointed.
