Too many reviews talk about Jennifer's actual age vs characters age. Well if you haven't read the book , you don't KNOW the characters age She's a favorite actress in the right part. This was not it. But get off her case. Many, many actresses play parts written for youmger characters.

Rock Hudson is ok, It's a tragic story. But it's also a war picture and it's torn between the two.

It's not a great film. Nor a particularly memorable one But it's not bad. And it deserves more respect than it is given.

If you watch it without preconceived notions that it is bad etc.it is possible to be moved and involved.

Lou Diamond Phillips gives a Brilliant and mesmerizing performance as Ramirez "The Night Stalker". It's a wonderfully sustained characterization, and deserves probably more attention that it will get. In truth it's an award winning performance and should be remembered at the time Emmy's are distributed. Unfortunately the female role is nowhere near as interesting. Whether this is a fault of the writer, director or the actress, she just seems so much less interesting than Phillips.

But Phillip's performance is so good, h never stoops to the obvious and makes no effort to ingratiate himself or the part he's playing. I have never been a particular fan of his, but no I will pay more attention.
