Romantically attracted to the handsome widower (Berenger), Weaver is convinced of his innocence until she discovers his true nature and a shocking secret that threatens everything she believes in. Torn between love and duty, Weaver is forced to make the most difficult decision of her life: Will she betray the man she loves...or the country she's sworn to protect?

White supremacy and filmmaking weaknesses. The duo of Debra Winger and Tom Berenger, with Berenger playing an undercover agent and racist, might have been designed to be visually appealing, but the pair of Costa-Gavras and Joe Eszterhas cut them short. The indecision between whether to make a thriller, a crime drama, or a political film competed with moments that made one's brain feel like it was being run over by a combine harvester. It’s interesting to note that the beloved Captain Stottlemeyer from Monk only played monsters and despicable bastards during the late 80s and early 90s.
