First of all, everybody's acting sucks. Considering the cast includes personal favorites like Jeffrey Jones, Ken Wahl, and Zeljko Ivanek, this says a lot. The plot is kind of like a bad acid trip, maybe a mescaline letdown - hard to tell. Everybody moves like they're underwater, and it's completely incomprehensible. The ski sequence was the best of the scenes, which frankly isn't saying a heck of a lot. I wept for Ivanek and Jones, caught like deer in headlights. Bet that ABC Movie-of-the-Week that they turned down to do this is looking like Bergman about now.
