Jamie Lee Curtis plays officer Megan Turner, a rookie cop who kills an armed robber her first day on the job. During the commotion, one of the witnesses, Eugene Hunt, a Wall St. gold trader played by Ron Silver, snatches the robber's gun and, faster than you can say "junk bonds", turns into a psychopathic serial killer with an obsessive fixation on both the gun and Turner.
The total absence of intelligence in this movie makes it painful to watch. Even after Hunt murders her closest friend on her doorstep, Turner continues to spend her evenings at her apartment, never bothering to so much as check the place out for intruders. So it comes as little shock when Hunt is there waiting for her one night.
No one else in the movie manages to demonstrate an IQ higher than their age, either: a supermarket clerk, after being threatened by a gun-wielding maniac for five long, tedious minutes, replete with threats to "blow him away", later, under police questioning, says that the weapon might have been a knife. The only reason for such staggering stupidity is that it was necessary to force an unwilling script kicking and screaming down an unlikely plot-line.
So stay away from this one, folks. It's not even bad enough to be funny.
