Much better than what other reviews have said. You have to consider when this movie was made it was fairly early in both Greggory Harrison and Alexandra Powers careers and both are better actors now then they were when this was made. And this was not a high budget movie, but it kept me interested throughout the movie and I thought it was very enjoyable.

What surprised me was why would the likes of Gregory Harrison consent to do this trivial film in the first place? He's much to good as an actor. And such a handsome one at that. Remember him in "For Ladies Only" as the male stripper would-be actor? Excellent stuff and much more worthy of his presence. And his Broadway stint in "Steel Pier", the musical several years back. To see him in this, I guess made before the musical, was uncool. Playing a would be assassin who gets caught by a bimbo. That's what I thought of Alexandra Powers' work as the long suffering Jo. First of all, her voice was obnoxious and her acting came in at a close second. Where do they find these actresses? Did she audition for the part? How could anyone see any potential in her? This surprises me. In this movie I wanted Harrison to win. Written and Directed by Sandor Stern, who must have been blind when he cast this movie. Then suddenly we see Robert Prosky in a small role as the dame's papa who seems uncomfortable in doing the role and the movie. I know Bob's work and he's so much better than this. Is it a matter of the bucks? The work? You know, keep working, no matter what? How sad that such talented people are subjected to such trite productions. Please, can we get these so-so actresses off the screen? Scott Valentine turned in a decent performance as the friend of the dame's husband, a cop. Mr. Harrison, you're too good for this kind of film. There's so much more out there. Have you thought of coming back to Broadway? You'd be welcome. What about Billy Flynn in "Chicago"? Certainly you'd do better than George Hamilton. And Bob, come back to Broadway. We miss you.
i loved this movie and yes Gregory Harrison is a hunk and a half :)....but i like Alexandra Powers too ...a great actress... i thought the movie was good from beginning to end....i think everyone should rent the movie....i think Gregory Harrison is a great actor..no matter what movie or TV show he plays in... the guy that played Alexandra's husband is cute and Scott Valentine too...i think they did great in the movie..i would recommend this movie to anyone...i just wish the movie was on TV again..i'd watch it again..i'd vote for all the main characters for an award...but i did enjoy this movie... and would watch it over and over if i could
