Jeremy Carlisle (John Ritter) and his ex-wife Lynn (Stephanie Faracy) are doing a pretty good job keeping things amicable between the two of them. She has the three kids and both of them have found new lovers. Jeremy has Susannah (Julianne Phillips) and Lynn has Tony (Henry Winkler). Thing is Tony is a man not to be fooled with and Jeremy feels his own children are under danger so he tries to do what he can to protect them and in the end his own life.
Ritter is good as the protective father, but this TV movie is really an opportunity for Winkler to shine in a very different role than I have seen him in. He is not playing The Fonz here. And he does a pretty good job as well. Director Rod Hardy also adds a certain realism I would say in how lines of dialogue are delivered and social aspects going on in the movie.
So if you are a Winkler fan or even thriller fans I would certainly suggest this movie if you can find it.
