Sort-of clever thriller that lacks somewhat in credibility but features excellent performances and, strangely, a perfect Dave Grusin score. His music is both spontaneous and manages to fit all the film's moods without seeming in any way intrusive or wrong. This is rare in a Hollywood film.
The real problem with this motion picture is that it is not really about anything. The implied themes of loyalty to one's career and the firm for which one works and marital fidelity are neither fully developed nor explored. There is very little for the audience to get emotionally-involved in, while the plot slowly reveals itself, until we reach a rather weak ending. The characters are poorly written and, despite the best efforts of the actors, fail to ignite as people we really want to spend much time with.
