  I watched this movie purely by accident...was surfing throught the channels on a sunday afternoon and saw that Peter Strauss was in the middle of a scene, so i decided to stop and watch....well, within minutes I was caught in the story line of this movie and the performance that Pete was giving , which is in every flik is incredible....this movie is a must see for everyone, definately the most underated actor of our time.
