Hard Evidence (1995)

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

CONTAINS SPOILERSTrent Turner is having a mid-life crisis. He decides to not have sex with his beautiful wife Madelyn no he chooses a 32A cup size (If lucky) blonde bimbo, Deena, who claims to sell medical supplies (Aren't drugs listed under medical too?)to prance around him instead. On a trip with her to Vancouver he shoots a DEA agent now that's when the movie goes downhill.When Deena tells him that she sells drugs he should've split no matter what, but no he helps out and gets in trouble. At the airport Deena tells him to stay away from her for a while. Isn't that a little while until things calm down. When he comes home he gets a phone call from Deena's boss Mr. Dietrich, who is a little hysterical ..he's weird plain and simple. The blackmail begins, Mr. Dietrich wants 3/4 million dollars in exchange for the gun Trent used to kill the DEA agent.He goes to Deena, but she lies with her fake tears and Trent's wife Madelyn follows him. Seeing this she is raged. Anyways Trent decides to follow Deena and finds out that the DEA agent he shot was still alive and having coffee and danish with Deena. Then when Trent tries to get the upper hand, Deena gets killed, but we don't get to see that part. The police then suspect Trent since his clothes are over at Deena's place. Apparently Deena was sewing back the buttons on his blue shirts since she had ripped his shirts open constantly. Madelyn finds out about the blackmail and wants to help Trent. He shoots Mr. Dietrich, the police come by once more trying to act macho. The story was good but it just got bad after ½ hour.Greg looks great, but seeing him act in these silly films isn't fun, but still he played his part great, Joan Severance was good even though she didn't have a big part, but Cali Timmins,Colin Cunningham and Andrew Airlie were terrible. The ending was dull and the plot on who did what and why was stupid.
