Best movie ever!

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Instead of the Colonel taking his own life, I would have loved to have seen him finally get arrested and serve prison time for sexual assault, harrassment, delerection of duty as an officer, etc.

Did Scott Abbott the writer or executive producer Sheldon Pinchuck save Peter Coyote's life sometime? Do they have dirty pictures of Courtney Thorne-Smith? That's the only explanation I can see for these two agreeing to be in this picture.Coyote plays a dictatorial commander of an Army base in the middle of nowhere who uses his power to force his officer's nubile wives to have sex with him. Courtney Thorne-Smith is the new girl in town and she's not willing to play that game.Tim Matheson does a decent job directing, but what can you do with a unbelievable anti-military stalker film that has no concept of how things really work in the Army? Perhaps Coyote, Thorne-Smith and Matheson agreed to do "breach of Conduct" because they figured "what the heck, no one will ever see it".In my case, I wish they were right.

From the promotional poster, Breach of Conduct looks like a pretty stupid movie. But this low budget made-for-tv thriller directed by Tim Matheson turned out to be better than I had anticipated. The story is that of a psychotic military commander, Andrew Case (Peter Coyote) who runs a pretty autocratic military base. He is an eerie fellow, possibly schizophrenic. If above all else, he values being in charge no matter what.He's got this scam going, where he takes the officer's wives out to this bunker in order to fullfill his unusual sexual fantasies. It looks like everyone who knew about it, went along with it. And Helen Lutz (Courtney Thorne-Smith), the new wife on the base, should not be mistakened for the bubbly, helpless type. Because she's about to risk her life to try to stop Case's crimes, which proves to be quite a dangerous task when no one is willing to challenge Case for the sake of their own careers (and lives) even though they may believe Lutz. The movie presents itself in a rather tricky fashion for the viewer. I forgot that I was watching a thriller when, in the introduction, you just see this panicked housewife, Lutz, trying to locate her husband on the base as well as get herself settled in the strange, new town (okay, so yeah, that's the beginnings of a thriller--the suspicious eerieness of the visitors who approach Lutz). And when Lutz is seduced by Case, or however you want to describe it, it looks like just a dreamy love story and one movie that could follow that route. But it doesn't, and once Case's sick mentality is revealed to Lutz, the fun begins.It is not the most wonderful thriller, and does borrow on some formula, but for a low budget made-for-tv thriller, it does the job.

So, this Colonel, he's so desperate to make this young army wife his mistress, he'll go to any lengths, stealing insurance details, altering her husbands schedules, running down innocent corporals. Right. The bounds of reality are stretched so far you end up not caring by the end. The final showdown is weak as the power crazed Colonel Case decides to storm a nuclear bunker on his own. The dozen or so Military Policeman around him unable/unwilling to stop him despite the fact he has cold blooded murder on his mind.Made for TV all over and only really rescued by a decent performance by Courtney Thorne-Smith as the object of the Colonel's desire.
