Trivia
This film features both James Gandolfini and Michael Rispoli playing mob/ underworld figures. Three years later, Gandolfini and Rispoli would appear together in HBO's acclaimed mafia series The Sopranos (1999) with each actor portraying the boss of the DiMeo crime family at varying times. When casting the series Sopranos' creator David Chase almost gave the lead role of Tony Soprano to Rispoli before finally giving it to Gandolfini.

Demi's best

I am not a big Demi Moore fan and seeing this movie wasn't top priority but afterwards I was very pleased with the outcome. This is, by far, Demi Moore's best film to date as she shows so much emotion as a single mother stuck in a difficult position between working for the mafia in order to save her family and herself. Moore truly deserved an Academy Award nomination if not a win, and the Razzies were very out of line by giving her Worst Actress for this (it was moreso for "Striptease" and that also wasn't that bad...a thing about the Razzies, they don't know what the hell they're talking about half the time). Alec Baldwin is pretty good as the villain and Anne Heche gives all she has as the token best friend. Ted Tally's ("Silence of the Lambs") script is riveting and keeps you on the edge of your seat. A great suspense film with a great performance by Demi Moore...see it and believe it. 8/10
