Nick Cavanaugh (Julian Sands) is a brilliant surgeon who seems to haveit allmoney, looks, prestigebut all he wants is someone he can't have a voluptuous, cold-hearted seductress: Helena (Sherilyn Fenn). After Nick fails to impress her withhis wealth, Helena is struck down by a hit-and-run driver outside his mansion. The good doctor saves her life by amputating her legs, then seizes the opportunity of her immobility to hold her prisoner. Now, he's in control of Helena's body, but not her mind, for this shrewd, quick-thinking vixen ishellbent on keeping Nick on his toes in order to foil his selfish plan to have her not only as a trophy wife but his personal Venus de Milo.

Das originelle und bemerkenswerte Drehbuch wird durch den TV-Look degradiert. Wenn der Film absurd und ungewollt lächerlich wird, rettet ihn vor dem Sturz in die Kategorie der unterdurchschnittlichen Werke eine coole Pointe, die zum Nachdenken und einer Diskussion anregt. In den Händen von Cronenberg in den 80ern wäre das was anderes!
