    A woman's abusive husband (Bruce Willis) is murdered quite bloodily in the back of a van at a fairground. The wife's friend (Demi Moore) is suspected - will she get away with it? It's up to Detective John (Harvey Keitel) to determine. Somewhat memorable after all these years, but... read more nothing earth-shattering.

    Director Alan Rudolph's eccentric style brings some interest to a fairly routine story. Although Demi Moore has a creditable stab at the heroine, it's Glenne Headly who steals the show.

    How many times does a rape sceene need to be rewatched? I ended up leaving this film because of it, I wish they had a 0 star rating

    This movie is full of twists and turns. It is shot in flashbacks but in such a way you forget the events have already happened.

    Husband & Wife (at the time) thriller, I absolutely loved it. Bruce's attitude was a real turn on for me :) Gosh he is so HOTin this movie!!!!

    Worth watching just to see the fire between Demi Moore and Bruce Willis when they were married. It was obvious they hated each other to the point of homicide. Their acting in this film llustrates this.
