Even though I have seen this movie years ago, somehow, I still can remember it as if it was yesterday. Indeed, I was invited at a (girl)-friend's house and she had rented two movies, 'Lost Highway' and this flick. She was a huge fan of 'Lost...' whereas I always thought it was a rather underwhelming mind-f*ck so we had those very long conversations about this flick... Anyway, after 'Lost Highway', we ended up watching this movie. I'm pretty sure she didn't know if it was any good beforehand and just picked it up because Klaus Kinski was in it. Kinski remains one of the most intriguing actors the world, even though I have barely seen any movies starring the guy (only 5) and most of his work was actually garbage. Anyway, this movie was one of the last he made and it wasn't really good, I'm afraid. I mean, Kinski was, as usual, pretty creepy and his charisma remains indisputable but everything else in this movie was just terribly weak. The plot, the directing, the other actors,... everything was just terribly underwhelming and without Klaus Kinski, it would have probably ended up as one of the worst movies I have seen. To conclude, I think I'm being rather generous here, it is a very weak thriller and I don't think it is really worth a look, even if you are a fan of Klaus Kinski.
