Just perfect...

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Saw some plot twists coming. Missed others. Maybe it was because there couldn't be another one coming. Nope, there was. When it was over I wondered if the screenplay was written on the fly. Despite all the flaws, the movie was entertaining. It would be hard not to be with all that eye candy.

I saw this film in the theaters in 1997. It was very erotic. I thought the storyline was good and that it always kept you interested. The love scenes were unexpected, but welcomed. I Just learned Neve Campbell had a "no-nudity" clause in her contract for this film, but Denise Richards went all in with the threesome nudity scene. You have to respect Denise for that decision. Eventually, Neve went nude in a future film, so, her 'no-nudity' clause didn't pay off (They never do.). Matt Damon and Kevin Bacon were great actors in this suspense film. There is a lot of deceit and back-stabbing happening, almost to an epidemic level. Also, don't deny the sequels - sure they're raunchy and cheap - but, who cares?!?!? It's gripping, sexy and adventurous.

So, if you're interested in watching this movie for the 'classic' Neve Campbell/Denise Richards scene, all the power to you. If you would like to watch a good movie, pass this one up. This movie proves that even decent actors can't fix a bad script. Oh, there are a lot of twists & turns to attempt to move the plot along & keep you interested, but there's no escaping the ridiculous dialogue & farcical acting. In my opinion, Matt Dillon and Kevin Bacon should be ashamed of themselves. Like I said before, if you want to watch it for the 'classic' Neve Campbell/Denise Richards scenes, that's cool, but that's all there is, & the only reason I gave it 2 stars.

In the Florida glades town of Blue Bay, Kelly Van Ryan (Denise Richards) is the rich queen bee of the high school. Her father killed himself leaving her with her flirtatious mother (Theresa Russell). Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon) is the school counselor accused of raping her. Police detectives Ray Duquette (Kevin Bacon) and Gloria Perez (Daphne Rubin-Vega) investigate. Sam hires unscrupulous defense lawyer Ken Bowden (Bill Murray). Suzie Toller (Neve Campbell) is the outsider poor white trash classmate who has a similar story about Sam raping her. Both stories have Sam saying No little girl can make me come.As a noir crime mystery, this is way too convoluted to be compelling. It tries to be hard-boiled but it has a few too many twists. It has two or three twists too many. The good thing here is that this is a full-on campy sexploitation and the movie knows it. Director John McNaughton happily and proudly wades through the muck. This is deliberate cheese and there is some good fun to be had. Bill Murray is really camping it up. The threesome is famous or infamous on par with Sharon Stone. It's a cheap guilty pleasure.
