    • Trivia
      During filming on May 9, 1997, Patrick Swayze broke both legs and tore four tendons in his shoulder when his horse threw him into a tree. He said he grabbed the horse's mane and flipped himself around so that he wouldn't hit the tree with his head.

    well written, still not really exiting
    This film is pretty well written and plot is not usual stuff, A Mystery I would say. Swayze is ok and so on, But there's still something missing. Anyway, I would give it 3/5.
