Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was John Dahl's follow-up to The Last Seduction, and the studio cut 20 minutes including a subplot that made Liotta's character even more morally compromised.
Released between Brainstorm and The Cell, this belongs to a weird 90s subgenre of 'memory as physical space' thrillers that technology has now made adorably quaint.
