Betty has a crush on her tennis instructor Mike. He promises to call her for a date, but never does – she doesn’t know he sells drugs on the side. After botching a deal on someone else’s turf, Mike has to disappear for a while. He contacts Betty – then he’s killed before they can meet. Betty tries to find out what happened, leading her straight into a hornet's nest of vice.

painfully slow and never builds any real tension. the mystery had potential, but the dull pacing and lack of momentum make it a chore to sit through. even debra winger can’t save it.

I wish at one point Betty grabbed a gun and shot Mike and Pete. Longest 109 minutes.

Like a weird episode of Murder She Wrote only Jessica Fletcher never shows up so it takes a whole hour to solve the murder. More important of note is that Spaz Attack plays himself in this movie and i really wish i knew who the fuck that is.
