Douglas at his neurotic best, yet again

Rating: 7/10 (29 October 1998)

Chock-full of twists and turns till the very end, it's worth watching for its pure thriller value alone. One of the most potent mind-play movies in the recent past. I even developed a somewhat sickening sympathy for Scrooge Van Orton. Not that the plot leaves you with many others to root for anyway. Though I'm biased against suspension-of-disbelief stories in general, this one certainly has the makings of a first-rate thriller.
