Dead Reckoning A Storm may be dangerous,  But jealousy could be fatal! “A slickly accomplished thriller.” ~ The Hollywood Reporter  "Uhhhh .... huhuhuhuh ... they said slick.” ~ BoDee

Part 2

Kyle scales back down to the body but is double crossed when Alex throws down his rope trapping him at the base of the cliff with Daniel's body. She runs back to the tool shed and tries to cover her tracks while Kyle decides to scale the cliff.

* As Kyle scales down the cliff face there is much nailbiting as the rope gives him an atomic wedgie of Biblical proportions. A tense nation holds their collective breath until the Gigolo All Clear is given!
* If she wanted to kill him why not cut the rope as he's going down?
* Dead Daniel is now seen leaned forward with his head on his arm.
* As Kyle yells for Alex to help him Dead Daniel is now seen to be laying on his stomach with his arms curved outward. - This dead guy moves more then the damned Plot!

Kyle climbs the cliff while Alex returns to the Yacht. She is seen writing at the table when the Coast Guard arrives and offers help. She makes up a story about Kyle and Daniel being lost on the island. She retrieves the gun and Daniel's journal before returning to the island with the Coast Guard.

* Alex rows out to the yacht in what is arguably the first ounce of anything resembling work we have seen from her sorry ass thus far!
* Alex is shown to be soaking wet when she arrives but only seconds later is stone dry.
* Alex agrees with his story showing that not only is she quick on her back, but on her feet too!
* Exactly what Spacio-Temporal Vortex is she from?
* I guess the Coast Guard has to go save other tormented couples from other Lighthouse Islands.
* She faces off with Kyle and tries to whine her way back into his heart. (Wanna little cheese with that whine Alex)?

There is NO WAY he is EVER gonna buy this .. No Friggin Way ... When Pigs Fly!
*Flap*Oink*Flap*Oink*Flap*Oink*Flap*Oink*Flap*Oink*Flap*

In the Aftermath of a Violent sexual reunion Alex shows her true colors by pulling a gun on Kyle and concocting a plot for him to be blamed for Daniel's murder and she his unwilling victim. It goes awry when they discover the gun is not loaded. Kyle ends up chasing her around the Island but to no avail.

* As a child Kyle, was your cradle rocked a little to close to the wall or something? Barnum was wrong ...it's more like every 30 seconds!
* During a confrontation Kyle tells Alex that no “Juwy in da wold” would convict him ..... Ohhhhh we are all like so “skidd”!
* Alex tries to shoot him and in a hissy snit fit throws the gun at him making an owie on THAT GORGEOUS PERFECT FACE! You Heartless (Something that rhymes with BITCH)!
* Suffice it to say that there is much running all over the Friggin Island - I haven't seen this much padding since my Wonder Bra at the AC concert in November!
* Ohhh smooth move Brainiac!  ... being chased by an Crazed Narcissistic Egomaniac Psychopath? Hide behind the only mirror on the Island!
* Can someone please stay in the frame puhhhlllleeeeeeezzzzz!

In their final confrontation, Kyle & Alex face off in the Lighthouse Tower where she sets him on fire and escapes to safety ... Uhhhh, Now I have been really good about giving these little plot synopsis ... I mean they have been real clinical and stuff ... but I just gotta say at this point ...

... Nuh uh! I call 'NO WAY'!!!!!!
* Resusci Annie torched Kyle? My finger is hovering VERY close to the rewind button!
* I wonder how that “Naturally Sunny Disposition” is holding up?

Okay, so we find out she's really sleeping with the "Stepford" Kennedy look-alike Senator and eventually the Sheriff trips her up cause she wrote a note on the yacht and got screwed up on her timing and it blew her gig and now she's going to jail for like ... all day ... yada yada! Book 'em Danno!

One interesting note - During the final interrogation on the Yacht the Sheriff tells Alex that she shouldn't say anything else under her 1st Amendment rights? It is very noble that he wants to protect her right to religious freedom, uncensored speech, and her right to free assembly. I suspect that he would have offered her the 5th but we the audience polished that off when Kyle became a Refried Hunk Fritter and took a header outta that window.

Having only fondled the surface of all that is "Dead Reckoning" I must say in it's defense that;
1- It has allot of Rick in it +1
2- It has (albeit implied) sex +1
3- Rick gets to be really evil +1
4 - It actually has a provocative storyline +1
5- It does NOT feature the appreciable talents of Joan Van Ark or Janet Eiber +1
6- You can actually still purchase it somewhere other then Ebay +1
