An inferior and ultimately predictable yarn with deranged secretary (Shelia Kelley) hatching a plot against her stockbroker boss (Mel Harris) by kidnapping her little girl, dropping a car on her husband and framing her for the murder of a fellow employee. Although this is suspense by numbers and trawls through a minefield of well-worn plot devices borrowed from Fatal Attraction and The Hand That Rocks The Cradle, its handled with a certain zeal and Kelley does an effective turn as the typist from hell.
