From the Back Cover
Alex Lee (Anne Heche) is a loan officer at an international bank who is forced into moonlighting as a hooker when her own debts begin to mount. On night, Alex encounters a new client, financial racketeer, Bruno (Christopher Walken), who becomes obsessed with Alex's dominating sexual performance. Fearing she may be working for the FBI, Bruno sends his bodyguard, Tony (Steven Bauer), to check her out.
Meanwhile, Bruno's estranged wife, Virginia (Joan Chen), meets Alex at her bank and the two women become instantly attracted to each other, spawning a secret, lusty and risky relationship. In a heated finale, these four people must face the secrets, lies and truths of their entangled lives.

I've bought this director's cut DVD version only because Chris Walken is one of my favorite actors and I want all his movies on DVD. But I was rather surprised that this cut actually makes sense and it's rather good psychological thriller. So enyone who saw that terrible producer's version (which drove director Cammell to suicide) watch this and be amazed.

What can you say. This film is superb. The music by Sakamoto is wonderful. The editing and the performances are weird I know, Christopher Walken is always watchable. Buy this, you won't regret it. But not for those who liked Titanic.

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Over acted , ridiculous script and story and yet I really enjoyed it . Just 4 characters talking and having odd sex . It shouldnt work and yet I was mesmerised . Heche and Chen are great together and Walken is just as ridiculous as he always is now . A fun inflated movie for a winter night in .

A good actor does not make a good film
In my ignorance I assumed that because Christopher Walken was in this film, I would like it. How wrong I was. Nothing wrong with Walkens performance - superb as ever. Read more
