CGiii Comment
Basically...it's Basic Instinct done on the cheap.
Caruso is, possibly, the most uncharismatic actor out there.
A little charisma could have rendered this film a little more watchable than it is.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Someone does a nasty hatchet job on a San Fransisco big noise and the Assistant D.A. takes charge of the investigation. Through a web of blackmail and prostitution involving the Governor, an old lover of the lawman emerges as a prime suspect and he has to deal with his personal feelings as well as the case.
