I agree. I enjoyed the hell out of this film. Love the Hitchcock-heavy feel. It's too bad about the film's implausibility: Tom Berenger's character managing to pass as his lover's husband. Maybe if more time had been dealt with the sneaking suspicions of the husband's former friends it could have been pulled off. Of course Peterson didn't follow this route because he didn't want to give away his twist. Just another example of a director giving up depth and insight for a gee-whiz, gosh-pow ending. Too bad.
My rating; 9 -

Couldn't agree more! Still remember I was shocked when I saw that important scene whereas the main lead discovers the truth.
Nowadays, more and more movies want to have a twist but audience are not that easily surprised anymore.
