A journalist goes undercover and catches feelings for the killer he's investigating. Classic workplace mistake.
Miranda Wells is an attorney with a sideline in immigration fraud and murder. Miranda's assistant, Carla, is unaware of her criminal activities. Rick Benes, a journalist setting out to expose Miranda, poses as David Lopez, an illegal immigrant, and takes a job in the office. Carla stubbles on incriminating files and Rick Benes pursuit of the story is threatened when he becomes infatuated with Miranda. Carla is attacked and her husband murdered, Miranda is the chief suspect. As the investigation progresses and Carla disappears from hospital, it is clear that Miranda will stop at nothing including murdering again to stay out.
Acting
Melanie Griffith's increasingly unhinged line delivery is art.
Production
Somehow both overlit and underbudget. 2005 TV movie magic.
Writing
Dialogue so clunky it achieves accidental poetry.
Director
Robert Markowitz
