This movie kept my interest--the story was good, and it had its share of good atmosphere--rainy streets of Baltimore, bars, reenactments.
A decent courtroom scene. And there was a segment at the Ballet where director Hansen intercuts between the action outside and the performance inside. And Elizabeth McGovern is good and feisty in her role.
(spoilers!)---but when McGovern and Guttenberg begin their plan to trap the real attacker, the movie becomes an inept action picture.
It's as if the producer came in 3 quarters of the way into the movie and fired Hansen and hired a less-than-talented action director.
It just wasn't necessary. Having everything go wrong made the plot go ridiculous. Too bad. See it for the good stuff and make up your own ending.
