Bruce Willis stars as a psychiatrist who runs an encounter group in LA, amongst whom is the murderer of one of his friends. While the police monitor the group, Willis gets involved in a steamy relationship with Rose (Jane March), not completely understanding her complex character.

Entertaining and underrated, Bruce near his best!
This is one of Bruce's most underrated thrillers, which at the time, because of the sexual content between him and Jane March, caused much controversy, surprise, surprise!!!It is quite long, but the characters and the plot hold up well throughout and it is an entertaining ride. Bruce's character is almost similar to the character he played in The Sixth Sense, a psychologist who makes a mistake and it costs him, but in this case, not quite as severely and he's a psychologist, not a child psychologist.The therapy group is a great mix, with some big names in there, practically an all star cast, Brad Dourif, Lance Henriksen, Lesley Ann Warren to name a few and they're all terrific. One of the things which makes it a fun ride from the beginning however is Bruce's onscreen time with co-star Scott Bakula, until a horrific murder goes down and takes him away from us.The story is decent, the chase scene is a cracker and the rest of the cast, including the delectable Miss March, who plays a brilliant role herself are all equal contributors. It goes without saying that the scenes between Jane and Bruce are quite racy and steamy, but they work well and the controversy only added to it. The theme song is also sexy and moody.This is a fine buy and a worthy investment, and I had to pay £13 for it, the Spanish copy, because the cover is the best, but again, more than worth it.

“Tell me what you see.” [Bill Capa]
This 1994 dark comedy thriller features Dr. Bill Capa (Bruce Willis), a psychologist who quits his practice and goes to stay with his old college friend Dr. Bob Moore (Scott Bakula) who believes one of his five Monday night patients is out to kill him. When Moore is killed, Capa takes over the sessions. But which one is the killer and who’s next?Police detective Lt. Hector Martinez (Rubin Blades) brilliantly provides the wise cracking dry humour while the beautiful Rose (Jane March) plays the seductive and mysterious girl who brightens up Capa’ life. The humour really appealed to me and although the ‘suspect’ was easy to identify, the motives were not. The script was clever and provided many false trails as the events unfold.If you're sensitive to nudity or sex, you may have a problem with this movie as this is the full length version so you get those gratuitous sex scenes that made Maxim magazine vote the film as having the Best Sex Scene in film history [December 2000]. This 2¼ hour version is definitely adults only late night viewing and didn’t seem that long as it maintained a quick and riveting pace. Well worth a ***** entertainment score but a £20 asking price?

Two stars. One for the impressive cast...
... the second star is for Bruce's Bruce. The subtitles for the hearing impaired was a nice touch, even if they were in ALL CAPITALS. There's really only ONE reason to see this half baked thriller (if you're me, that is) and that reason is for the shock appearance of Brucie's member. That having been typed, there's some wonderfully ott acting from the ensemble and some genuinely nasty violence to be had. Casting wise Ruben Blades is a hoot and a half as the police detective. Lesley Ann Warren is her usual off kilter self. Dependable Lance Henriksen is solid as a rock. Brad Douriff adds some much needed class to the proceedings. The weakest link comes in the shapely form of a dire Jane March. That being said she's more an actress than Jennifer Aniston ever will be. A purely adults only film. The rummy pumpy is strong and semi pornographic.

A completely ludicrous story but somewhat entertaining at times, very adult in some scenes.
