"A taut, suspenseful thriller!" -Variety There's nothing more enticing than evil...especially when it's hiding behind a killer smile and draped in designer suites. Rob Lowe (
The West Wing) and James Spader (
Sex, Lies and Videotape) star in this "slyly seductive and thoroughly enjoyable thriller" (The Wall Street Journal) from director Curtis Hanson (
L.A. Confidential) and writer David Koepp (
Spider-Man).
Financial analyst Michael Boll (Spader) seems to have everything: brains, money, a socially connected fiancée and a blindingly bright future. Then he meets Alex (Lowe), an impeccably dressed drifter with fatal charm and an insatiable appetite for wine, women... and danger. Alex befriends Michael and takes him for a walk on the wild side - but Michael soon discovers that there's a terrible price to pay for life in the fast lane, because hanging out with Alex...can be murder!
