When the title menu came up, there was no special feature. This was an indication to me that the movie would suck. What a shock I was in for. The film is just what the summary is. I could maybe add one more line for the ending. It is a deeply emotionally mature and sensitive film that blends eloquent film-making with a writer's sensitive rhythm to words and silences, all perfectly executed with the most awesome performances from the actors, director, and film crew. My wife started sobbing as she talked about it. She's artsy and never sobs over films. It was THAT moving.

Gentleman's Bet
(1995)
If you have nothing else to watch... well... it's better than an infomercial

This movie was supposed to be a sexy, suspenseful, thriller, but it's not much of any of them. This B movie would be a good candidate for the USA Network's Up All Night line-up. Enough titillation to keep the insomniacs up, but falls short of anything intellectually stimulating. Too much of a plot to be a soft-porn, but the acting and cinematography is certainly poor enough for one.

Better than I expected, would recommend it

I was pleasantly surprised by this suspense-action-thriller. The movie is about a young, upper-class couple who, during a visit to the in-laws, become victims of cold-blooded art thieves who slaughter most of the family. Don't worry, you look forward to seeing the annoying, upper-crust family members get butchered. And just overlook the fact that these rich folk never bothered to shell out the money for a decent home-security system. As implausible as it may seem, young preppie-boy fights back to single-handedly deal with the bad guys. Surprise ending, too.
