Quotes:

John McWhirter: Hey, shouldn't you be out, crackin' big stories?
Carl Smythe: Shouldn't you be out crackin' open a bottle of scotch?
John McWhirter: Wow, real subtle, Carl.
Carl Smythe: Subtle?
John McWhirter: Yeah.
Carl Smythe: You sure you know what that means, John? You should look it up, it's in the dictionary, right around the word "Sober", so you may not have seen it.
John McWhirter: Oh yeah, I've seen it. Yeah, it's right before 'Suck my dick'.

Timely tale of terror and betrayal

Don't sleep on this one. This is one of those thrillers that might not be a blip on the radar screen, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth a watch. A solid production, the story involves a journalist who has a shady past, and his encounter with a woman on the run, who is not who she claims to be. A key plot piece is that Ms. Ticotin's character, who appears to be Latin American, is actually Palestinian, and on the run from assassins. Fred Ward, Ms. Ticotin, and Penelope Ann Miller give great performances in their respective roles. I never thought Ms. Miller could play such an evil woman. Catch this film when you can on cable, it is worth the watch.
