Reception
The film received negative reviews. Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club called it "tawdry, exploitative, and lacking common sense and suspense".[2] TV Guide wrote, "A touch of Sleeping with the Enemy here, a dash of Double Jeopardy there... there's nothing especially original going on here, but Fonda delivers a nice, subdued performance as the battered Jimmy".[3]
