Lynda
Carter, Steve Forrest, Frank Stallone
Wonderwoman plays a roadhouse bartender (yeah, RIGHT!)
and frustrated artist (ahem!) in this stupider-than-usual MOTW. After successfully
defusing a bar argument, Lynda (her name is Brianne, which is pronounced
“Brian” in the movie – odd) is offered a job at a crisis
hotline by an old and gross man with whom she inexplicably falls in love.
Of course, she is immediately stalked by a breathless, raspy-voiced killer
who starts offing people and giving her clues about it. Hearing Carter repeat
the stupid riddles to herself over and over and listening to the calls repeatedly
on a 30-pound tape recorder gets incredibly old, as does seeing her repeatedly
ogled by her boss, an over-the-hill western star, and her creepy entrepreneur
boyfriend. Extra points for giving the killer a wacko makeup job, otherwise
really tedious. |
