Reviews
"Paul Mazursky's poisonous, if somewhat stilted foil à trois after Palminteri's play Faithful teaches one thing : better a nice killer than a fat husband."
“An entertaining adaptation of a successful tabloid piece in which biting humor and polished puns are combined into an exciting marriage thriller. In terms of content, central topics such as loyalty and trust are only touched on the surface. "
