...Reeves had been having an affair with an older, married woman whose husband was no stranger to violence. And Reeves did have a live-in girlfriend with a jealous streak. But in the end the movie cannot link his death to either of these factors. Soberly written by Paul Bernbaum and unsensationally directed by Allen Coulter, it has to leave Reeves pretty much where it finds him, as a man who wanted to be a movie legend but ended up as the subject of movie gossip. That talk has always been minor - we're not discussing the industrial-strength suppositions...

They also tested the limits of their R18+ rating. For audiences, that leaves the most thrilling dance to play out between the director (helped by choreographer Meryl Tankard) and her game troupe of actors...
...Carolyn Jessop, a former member of Jeffs' sect, points out that there are two high-powered, charismatic men who could possibly move back to Colorado City and take Jeffs' place: one is her ex-husband, Merrell Jessop, who oversees the sect's compound in Texas; the other is Wendell Neilson, who likely oversees another compound. But she considers this unlikely. "I don't think Warren would give away any of his power - he's too controlling and hungry for it and these men would be threats to his leadership.
