Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
CoffeeHouseAdam I love this movie, the acting is very strong by Andrew McCarthy. It's awesome to see a movie take place in Connecticut and specifically feature places like Elizabeth park, Hartford, Essex and you can even see Hartford Whalers stuff in the house. its not common to see a movie with a connecticut setting. its not filmed there but that does not matter to me. its the setting that makes it interesting to me as well as the story line and emotions involved.
richard-291 I was cajoled into watching this TV movie by the wife, who has very positive nostalgic memories of Andrew McCarthy (Mannequin, Pretty in Pink, St Elmo's Fire) and found it to be actually rather good.It may not have the budget of The Usual Suspects, but it's intriguing none the less as the nice plot gradually plays out. Some of the whodunnits are very obvious, as McCarthy tries to piece together who killed his wife and why, like the supposed friend and work colleague or the father in law, but overall this is one worth sticking with to the end.Good performance by the guy of The Sopranos and also look out for the laughingly titled magazine 'Dungeon Bitch' - used to put the colleague in the frame.As long as you don't expect too much, you'll enjoy.R
George Parker "Escape Clause", with MacCarthy at the center, is a whodunit with the look and feel of a low budget made-for-tv soap. Everything in this flick is too pat to be real which takes some of the umph out of the big climax at the end. Nonetheless, may be worth a watch for those into mysteries with nothing better to do on a rainy night. Catch this very ordinary flick on tv.
gazineo-1 Competent mystery movie telling the murder of the wife of a well succeed young executive (Mc Carthy)which investigation leads to the belief that he is the main suspect. Full of surprises, although some of them not very well explained and with a final solution plausible, at least. I give this a 6 (six).
