Customer Reviews
Would qualify for a B-movie festival
Oh Jane, Jane...WHY did you do it? I think I know. Either 1) you had no other prospects for paying the mortgage, 2) you were you dating the director or producer at the time or 3) you owed someone a BIG favor.
This "film" qualifies for about 1/2 a star but I gave it 2 simply due to the appearance of Jane Seymour. I only bought this to add to my JS collection. It has bad acting by Peter Weller and a dismal storyline. If that weren't bad enough, the musical score grates on you every time you hear it -- the "music" doesn't add to the story, it only distracts. This movie has virtually nothing going for it except Seymour's appearance. Don't buy this unless you are a BIG Seymour fan.

Mediocre love triangle stuff
I watched this movie for the pairing of Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman) and Peter Weller (Robocop). It certainly is intense, but it is in no way a masterpiece, either in acting or story. Set in Buenos Aires, it borrows from the film noir of the '40s, so many of which seemed fixated with that city. The story is unoriginal. Weller is an artist who becomes obsessed with a woman he saw at one of his exhibitions. You feel his frustration as he tries to find her. After months of searching he does and they begin a passionate affair. She is married and Weller's character, self-centered and paranoid man that he is, imagines that this is not the first time Seymour's character has done this. He has taken her from another man, yet he wants her to be devoted exclusively to him. He interrogates her and treats her cruelly. You wonder why Seymour puts up with his jealous and childish rants, but she always seems to come back to him for more abuse. The story reaches its climax when Weller visits Seymour at her cousin's seaside estate and imagines that Seymour is having an affair with her cousin as well. He displays his self-centeredness when she reveals her life to him on a seaside cliff and he hears nothing. Both characters are very sad people who don't have the slightest idea what love really is. The movie depends a lot on the repitition of a classical piece of march music to build mood and show when Weller is especially angry and about to do something impetuous. Some things are left unexplained in the story but it just leaves the viewer frustrated. What really was Seymour's relationship with her cousin?
