Robert Miller is a businessman about to make
a major transaction. Unbeknownst to everybody in the company, including Robert’s
daughter Brooke, who works for her father, the patriarch has cooked the books
in an effort to avoid being arrested for fraud. While trying to insure the
complicated transaction goes through as planned, Robert is involved in a car
accident that leaves his mistress dead. He decides to do his best to cover up
his involvement in the tragic event, though Detective Bryer suspects him and is
on his tail.
There is a very good ensemble cast at work
here and the storyline is very compelling. Richard Gere is convincing as the
conflicted businessman trying to save his own behind, and so are the rest of
the actors and actresses involved in their respective roles.
This film keeps you on the edge of your seat,
wondering how it all ends. Problem is, the filmmakers tried to get too cute
with the ending, leaving the viewer wanting more. I hate it when storytellers
don’t commit to a conclusion. Leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth.
