    Rick Springfield does a great performance as Kyle Rath

    I loved this movie! Rick Springfield's performance as Kyle Rath was Rick at his best! The story kept me in suspense and his portrayal of the dark character kept me entranced. I've watched this movie over and over and never get tired of it.

    The Rick Springfield as Villain Film

    The movie was a little cornball but filled with great suspense, many red herrings that keep you guessing, surprised and on the edge of your seat. Rick Springfield's acting performance was excellent. The rockin' (Working Class Dog, Success Hasn't' Spoiled Me Yet) TV doc (General Hospital) and surf board detective (High Tide) shows his entertainment and acting versatility.

    He plays a baaad villain with great agility. Whoever thought you could watch a film with handsome Rick Springfield and end up hating him?

    Cliff Robertson is always good and Susan Blakely plays her role to perfection. Definitely worth viewing to the last minute!

    The role Rick Springfield was born to play

    Rick Springfield's performance is the sole reason to rent/buy this video. He is incredibly gifted in his portrayal of Kyle Rath. When watching the movie, you just know from the moment Kyle Rath enters the picture that there is trouble ahead. Brilliant idea in casting Rick against type in this movie. Definitely worth watching!
