A Passion to Kill (1994)

So much average

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Due mostly to the casting and the boring script. Rick King, the director, must have been in a coma to hire some of these non actor types. Namely Chelsea Field and Scott Bakula. Both to this viewer should get out of the business. Bakula goes around with a lame less expression of stupidity most of the time. Whats the big deal about this actor? And his other half, Field, does not come off as any beauty to fight over. A rather overweight bit of fluff that at times is embarrassing to watch. Shelia Kelley is good, but wasted in this as are Rex Smith (wonderful in PIRATES OF PENZANCE) John Getz and France Nuyen (good to see her again). As I said they all were wasted with most of the shots and scenes were of Bakula and Field. Mr. King, you should be ashamed of yourself. To cast those two losers.

A, Passion to Kill has played several times over the years on basic cable as I remember with me getting the chance to view it. This is a strong drama/thriller type in which a psycho like female (the sexy Chelsea Field) leaves her husband and just bounces right at his best friend (Scott Bakula) only to terrorize him and cause trouble. Chelsea Field is the strongest reason to watch this movie she gives a very fine and sexy performance. Shortly after this I understand that Chelsea and Scott married in real-life, can you blame Scott he is a very lucky man to have been able to work and fall in love with the sexy Field. I wish that Chelsea would get more work in movies and TV-series she deserves them. Watch this thriller if you find it on cable the sexy performance from Chelsea Field is worth paying attention to.

Plot sound bland: Guy falls in love with friend's wife, then friend got murdered, evidence points to wife, yadda yadda yadda. But wait. Once it gets to the second half, instead of delving into a slasher cliche, it later became clear to guy: that nothing is and never was and the line between good and evil blurred. Viewers should realised there is no real villains in the end, just victims left to the society who feels no mercy to any criminals, no matter how sad their lives were in the beginning. We used to be this child, so pure and innocent like a clean cloth, only to be tainted bit by bit by life's difficulties and our inner demons. There is so many other meanings found underneath this movie's erotic thriller exterior and the ending is haunting enough to remind us of this, that many should watch it again and again. It's unfortunate that this movie was buried along with other B-grade erotic thrillers. Hopefully, some filmmaker might pick this material up and turn it into something more deserving.

This medicore murder mystry stars Scott Bakula(Major League 3,lord of illusions) as a manwho falls for a friends wife. I wont bother telling the rest of the movie as it's a forgettable movie with a B grade cast and story!!But if you like B grade movies then go check out this medicore erotic mystery!!!!
