I like a good romantic drama and this one is. I have no idea why it has such low ratings here, because I think it's a very good film. The story is well written, the pacing is good, dialog is fine, and the actors did excellent work.
It stars Lauren Holly as Carol, and Lauren looks really beautiful in this film, with her auburn hair. Tim Daly is the male lead, and I thought he looked fine as well.
Unknown to her, Carol's husband, Tim, a cop who is working undercover, isn't bringing in any criminals for justice, instead he's hooked on cocaine, and getting more erratic by the minute.
During a drug deal that goes awry, Tim manages to latch onto some really big bucks. His plan is for him and Carol to leave the country together, but she is reluctant.
Annoyed by Carol's reluctance and in need of a drug fix, Tim storms out of the house and to his death.
Drug kingpin, Angel (Tim Daly)and his cohorts want their money back, but they don't know what Tim has done with it.
Tim Daly as Angel, initially looks really rough, a mustache and beard, along with greased down hair, and wearing all black, with lots of rings on his fingers--was quite exciting.
He changes his look entirely however in order to woo the dead cop's wife, Carole, in hopes of discovering where the money is.
There are some really good romantic scenes between Angel and Carol.
As their romance progresses, one wonders how this is all going to turn out. Will Carol discover who he really is? Does she love him enough to accept him anyway? Will Angel find the money? Does Carol have the money? And does or doesn't Angel really love her?
I was disappointed in the ending, not because it wasn't well done - but I had hoped for something else.
There may well be a few minor gaps in believability in the telling of this story, but it didn't bother me any. An excellent film, very entertaining.
8 stars out of 10.
