maybe, too many. and the sex appeal of Adam Garcia as the most important ingredient. inspired choice in the first part, strange in the other. because the new revelations about characters, the ambiguity as instrument of suspense are good points but not in the case of lost of sense. because all becomes only improvisation. each actor does the best. this fact is obvious but the fundamental obstacle is the script. because the relativity of emotions, confessions are a kind of hammer against the first story. and the coherence is lost. sure, it is a thriller. but the rules of genre are more subtle. it has the mystery as basic instrument of atmosphere. but something important missing. the love story becomes confuse. the body of Adam Garcia could not supply a thin script. so, isolated scenes about mourning, sadness, revenge and love from a kind a broken puzzle.
Maureen Doherty's (Jacqueline Bisset) husband Patrick (top billed James Naughton who has about 10 minutes total screen time) dies in an accident. His son Scott (Adam Garcia) is devastated. Within a few weeks Maureen meets Oliver Vance (Stuart Wilson) on a cruise and falls in love. She wants to marry him. Scott isn't too happy till he meets Oliver's daughter Kelly (Alice Evans) and falls for HER! Then he discovers there may be something fishy about his dad's "accident"...OK--this is a terrible film (Garcia said as much). I can see why it only played on 10 screens in the US. The plot twists were screamingly obvious and the movie got sillier (and stupider) as it went on. The dialogue is just TERRIBLE and I think the cast knew it--Garcia looks like he's trying not to laugh a few times! And the ending has one character doing a COMPLETE turn around in his attitude (so we can have a totally ridiculous happy ending). Still I didn't hate the movie. The locations are beautiful (I think it was shot in Puerto Rico) and the music score is nice. Garcia is a very handsome man and walks around with his shirt open 99.9% of the time showing his nice body. The soft core sex scenes between Garcia and Evans are actually pretty erotic--Evans bares her breasts, Garcia bares his butt. The acting is as good as it can be. Bisset and Wilson are VERY good. Garcia is too but occasionally has this "what am I doing in this crap" look in his eyes. Evans is good but gives away her character too early. Also the movie is fast-paced so you don't have time to think of the gaps in logic...and there are PLENTY of those!So it's NOT a good film but the fast pace, beautiful locations and nice bodies of Garcia and Evans make it bearable. Almost worth watching for some truly incredible plot twists.
I ready some of the comments - I know we are all entitled to our own opinion but some of these people take this reviewing pretty serious don't they? Basically I rented the DVD because my girlfriend likes Adam Garcia. After watching the movie, she is into him even more - watch it and I guess from a girls perspective you'll know why. I didn't love the music, it was a bit corny for my taste but the overall feel of the movie made sense and the story line flowed pretty well. Bottom line (in my opinion) the movie was good - nice location shots, nice body shots and at times was pretty suspenseful.People just need to relax and rent the movie.
I read the reviews on the database and I went out and rented this film. I'm note sure if the other people had watched this film, but I can safely say it was beyond a doubt, the worst film I have ever sat through. The story line was predictable, the acting was no existent and the sex scenes (yes there are a few here!)are ... misplaced? I don't want to spoil any of it for you if you actually do make it through the whole thing. There is very little to tell except for that the script is more like a cheap film school entry and the acting is laughable. Some of the scenes are actually shot fairly well but then again, you'll spent a good deal of the movie trying to figure out why these people have English accents if they are living in Florida!
