A great little film written and directed by Steven Soderbergh. In fact this was his first film which garnered him an Oscar nomination for the screenplay. Now, if you are into action movies or need to have lots of excitement on the screen this film probably is not for you. It is dialogue-driven and certainly about the characters on the screen. In fact the first 10 minutes of the film I was not into it and was questioning if I should just skip the film entirely. I stuck through it though and am glad I did.

It's the story of a hubby John (Peter Gallagher) who spends his day working as a lawyer. When not in the office he is cheating on his wife Ann (great performance by Andie MacDowell) with her sister Cynthia (Laura San Giacomo). An old friend of John's named Graham (wonderful performance by James Spader) comes to town. I could see it coming about 1,000 miles away by Ann and Graham start a relationship together that blossoms, I don't want to give too much away but along the way she like us the viewer she learns more about Graham and the videotapes that he has and what exactly is on them.

I am really glad I watched this film and will need to view ti again, but it may be one of those love it or hate it type of movies.
