User Reviews

For the most part, this movie is solid and suspenseful, As a burnt out newspaper guy Kurt Russell becomes center of huge media sensation, As a psycho contacts him to tell his story as victims pile up, and cops have no leads, And on top of that, there's a major hurricane on the way, Kurt anchors another commanding role, With a flashy role for Richard Jordan, And it was nice seeing a really young Andy Garcia, There's also some spot on satiric barbs against the media, and nice use of Miami locations, And lots of impactful gunfire sound fx, Only Mariel Hemmingway's poor acting skills, and a predictable climax, hurt the overall impact,

Average mystery thriller. The cast do their best with the screenplay given to them but there's little in the way of logic when it comes to plot editing pacing. Sadly it never quite lifts above average and although technically well produced, it lacks a touch of magix that would elevate it above the rest. Worth a watch if you're a fan of the cast/genre.
