Anecdotes
Christopher Reeve's character uses a wheelchair due to paralysis. On May 27, 1995, six days after the film aired, Reeve broke his neck in a horse-riding accident, leaving him paralyzed for the rest of his life. This is basically the Law of Attraction set in motion: repetition (rehearsals, multiple takes) + emotion (an actor puts real emotion into his performance) = equation for manifesting a new reality. Unfortunately, the law doesn't differentiate between which is beneficial or detrimental to the one setting the law in motion.

underrated and rather sad

Christopher Reeve was a very good actor - a talented man. Pity his career suffered because of the Superman role that made him. In this telemovie he plays a (super)cop shafted by his brother and his wife. It is a complex plot with many a twist - a great script with a number of the supporting cast playing against type. Reeve's character is always one step ahead of the game. The plot is vaguely similar in premise to "Investigation of a Citizen above Suspicion" starring Gian Maria Volante. Kim Cattrell is not sexy to my eyes but she shows good acting chops and isn't afraid to get down on screen. Joe Montagne is generally underrated and this movie shows the range of his talents well. In the end, Reeve is the star and shows extreme skill in the way he develops Cain (it's all in the eyes!). Great ending, with a slightly comic judge's role, which makes the climax even more impact full.
