Story is not that strong, its typical B plot and some bit good performance. even there are some or few flaws in movie but one thing is really bad, which is the ENDING.
its totally rubbish , its more like WTF? how ..
-------------------spoilers----------------------------------------
so in the end, both bad guys are happy and got away with murder. and even the lady detective suspect something more.
and especially, that shannon tweed, the whole movie it seems like she was good wife, but in the end, sooo suddenly she is CON wife? yeh in the beginning she was arguing with husband about money and bla bla, but wtf in the end? . i really wished that detective could caught those two couples too.

I throughly enjoyed watching Dead by Dawn on HBO Cinemax. As a someone who has read over 500 mystery novels this year alone, I was impressed by how involved I became with the characters of this psychological mystery.
It was mostly because the characters were so well formed. They were very much like real people you might know socially in your neighborhood. The film is a must for those who love good dramatic acting. My wife and I have watched this film five times and we still enjoy picking out new clues.
And although the film was very racy in some places it was tastefully done and was not sexist or offensive to my wife.

I liked this film... But I would have to say that it really isn't that sexy. The love scenes are rather boring, but the story rocks. The dialogue was great and the detective stuff was cool. It's a good murder mystery, but not your typical Shannpon Tweed movie.

This is a pretty good movie with excellent acting, a fairly good twist at the end and some sharp dialogue. My only criticism is that I think there were too many sex scenes that slowed the movie down. I saw the movie on HBO and it is definitely one of the best of their straight to video selections.

This movie rocks. Dead by Dawn is beautifully photographed and is one of the most intelligent thrillers that I have seen on HBO. I highly recommend this movie. Shannon Tweed is a surprisingly good actress as is Cassandra Gava.

I would like to see a sequel showing how Don and Wendy are now living their lives with all the insurance money, they are most likely constantly making love in various places in the world.
Also how their affair started and how they plotted to have Kim killed and set up Tim in the process.
I think a sequel would be a good idea with flashbacks of everything that happened before this film.
Cos I must admit that this was a decent film for a drama thriller and one of Shannon Tweed's most well acted work since ever, and at this age Shannon still looks very hot for her age so I would like to see what is happening in the characters' lives now and also how it all started.

I think this is undoubtedly Shannon Tweed's best film performance. It's a serious role with real acting skill displayed. The other actors are less known but are cast well. The dialogue was especially interesting, combining moral themes and the genre of sex/cop thriller. Anybody who likes "Law & Order" or other tightly written TV series will enjoy seeing this film. It's probably pretty low budget, but compared to a lot of the slick, expensive, but meaningless stuff out there, it's a solid film.
