Friday night, one of the networks was showing some movie with Melanie Griffith and Micahel Keaton, that I didn't recognize. The cheezy-sultry-sax music dated it to the late 80s. To my surprise, it had a good opening and hooked me. So I quit watching
I went to IMDb, looked it up -- Link Removed, from 1990, a "thriller." Blockbuster didn't have it on DVD for rental, but BestBuy had it for sale (on sale even). So, I bought it for $6 Saturday, and watched it Sunday.
A decent movie, with a strong first half. I thought the characterizations were well done, with Keaton, Griffith, and (Matthew) Modine all bringing their roles believably to life. It wasn't perfect, notably not explaining Keaton's history or motivations sufficiently, and having a minor sub-story unsufficiently resolved.
And it was also fun to discover a movie from ten years ago that I'd never heard of.
Anyone remember this movie? Or have other movie discoveries worth sharing?
