Donald Sutherland, Graham Greene, Christopher McDonald and Amy Irving all star in this odd little thriller that starts with Donald Sutherland's character Frank being released from prison after 22 years served for murdering his wife. It was his young daughter Karen's eye witness testimony that convinced the jury to convict him, but Frank is still maintaining his innocence. Frank maintains that his wife had been drinking and that they argued and she fell down the stairs. Now all Frank wants to do is help his daughter who has grown and become a single mom, waitressing to take care of her son Pete in the topless bar in their Arizona town.
At first Karen is terrified that her father Frank is in town, but he slowly wins her over to his innocence and things are going great until Frank discovers that her boyfriend Dan is about to propose.
Some great scenery in this dessert thriller including a great walk through a beautiful slot canyon and a gorgeous boat ride with a great rock backdrop.
Creepy story that might have been better with the original "did he or did he not" kill his wife left a mystery.
Probably not a recommendation from me unless you just really love Donald Sutherland...because he does creepy so very well!
