This film is great! An entertaining, romantic thriller that also has quite a few laughs.
This is Madonna's second best film performance of her career. (The other being Eva Peron in "Evita"). She is being herself in this film, no funny, annoying accents, and the viewer likes her better for it.
Rossanna Arquette won a BAFTA for her role in this film so it is not surprising that she keeps the film rolling along with the pace it needs. The sexual tension between Arquette and Aidan Quinn is electric and you just know that sooner or later they're going to have to give in to each other.
Quinn is very good as the confused "other guy" who has some of the best lines.
Overall though this is a two woman movie with no space for male heroes, Madonna and Arquette don't need men to get along and save the day. Which is something that doesn't happen nearly enough these days.
