This was a good movie. It was just like reading one of his books. It will make anybody think before making a crazy mistake. I give a 4.5. Check it out.

If youre looking for million-dollar special effects, look for somethng else. If it's Oscar-award-winning acting, this movie is not for you. But Cappuccino proves to be a tremendous work of art, not to mention the perfect holiday gift for the cultured consumer.
Any and all loyal Eric Jerome Dickey follwers will easily recognize the story as his work - identified by the house for sale, the hairbrush, the ever-twisting plot, and finally the SHOCKING ending. His work clearly outshines everything else necessary to put this movie together, but then again this movie reviewer is a bit biased toward the author (not to mention ignorant of the director, producer, and actors).
One drawback of seeing Dickeys work on film as opposed to the page is that you don't get his vivid verbal description of the love/lust scenarios between his characters. Seeing them actually "gettin' it on" is actually a disservice to the imagination. However, seeing his art on film does allow the viewer to pick up the minor details you missed the first time - the minor details that normally take a second and third reading to find... all you have to do is rewind.

 | | Interesting black b-movie 3.5 stars | |
I rented this little movie largely because i read on it's cover that it was written by Erick Dickey. Yes, the writer of sisters and lovers and the more recent cheaters. The movie is kind of like a black low budget version of Body Heat with a few twists. Overall I found it rather entertaining. It's in Black and white so it really has that film nior vibe going it. It was a largely black cast, something you rarely see in any film noir movies. The directions wasn't really thrilling but competent, the acting was average. There were no name stars in it. but it really didn't hurt the story that much. The script written by Erick Jerome Dickey wasn't too bad. The dialogue was pretty sharp and there were only a couple of plot holes in it but nothing major. It's worth a good rent for a couple of dollars.
July 26, 2000i caught this film on B.E.T Starz's.it was a trip.a cross between Fatal Attraction&Body Heat.it's a great Movie with all kinds of Plots going on.this film will get at you.The Brother in this film got played by His Wife&the other Woman.it is a real eye-opener.it's ashame more channels don't show this film because it deserves wide viewing.it's a Great Trip out film for Discussions.
July 20, 2000The best way to describe this movie is a low budge "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate" without the laughs. Actually, this movie is pretty damn scary. It scared the dog out of me. Well, for a few days anyway. This is a must see for all male playas. And a word of advice, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT WATCH THIS WITH YOUR WOMAN! As a matter of fact, DON"T LET HER SEE IT AT ALL!
