...you were right the first time!
The title character (Tippi Hedren), a mysterious but frigid woman, makes a living my applying for secretary jobs at various companies, then robbing her employers blind and skipping town. When her current boss catches her in the act he blackmails her into marrying him, where he finds himself intrigued by her dark and bewildering past. Though Hitchcock's direction is as polished and imaginative as ever, the technique frills fail to hide the horrendous script and eye-rolling plot holes.Critically panned at the time of it's release, it has since gone on to be praised as a classic. Again, the critics were right the first time.

Seagal's misguided attempt at blending a heavy-handed environmental message and Native-American spiritualism with action movie conventions is actually quite a bit of fun if you're in the right mood. This time Steven is an environmental agent (and aikido expert, naturally) who battles an evil oil corporation for the preservation of Alaska. Of course, he blows up half of it in the process, but it's the thought that counts, right? Due to poor box-office, this is the first and, so far, only picture that Steven Seagal has ever directed, but the movie is more enjoyable (albeit, in a cheesy way) than it's reputation would suggest. Also, the action scenes are actually well shot and choreographed which is more than you can say for most current Seagal movies.
A man gets a ride from a truck driver when is car beaks down in the middle of a canyon. The truck driver seems friendly at first, but before long, he's tied the man to a chair, hacking off his limbs one by one, that is, after destroying everything else in his life first. Apparently, he had wronged the truck driver years before and the driver won't stop until he can recall what he did. Mostly unstressful black-comedy/horror hybrid, as the plite of the unsympathetic protagonist fails to generate any tension and 'trying-too-hard-to-seem-clever' script boasts only a few laughs. That being said, it's still better than 'Hard Candy.'
