Ellison says in a comment of his story that when you read his story, you won't find the distressing anti-woman sentiment found in the movie. I've never understood what he was talking about, because in that respect, I feel the movie followed the short story very closely. There is no doubt that there is a "distressing anti-woman sentiment" to the movie, but the real downfall of this movie is the production and acting quality. Don Johnson isn't horrible, but he is definitely not at his best, but the rest of the actors are very disappointing. The only thing this film really has to offer is the last scene, and that only works for it's shock value. Personally, I prefer the line from the story, it is more subtle, and therefore a bit more shocking. Overall, I give this film a rating of 3 of 10
