I have to say that Eric Roberts got the best role he has ever had in films, possibly the very best. As the sex obsessed lunatic cardiologist, he turned in a powerhouse performance and had this been a movie shown in theaters, he would definitely be vying for an Oscar nomination as best actor of the year.
Roberts goes from concerned, dedicated and brilliant heart surgeon to a ruthless mad obsessed man who is constantly dejected by women, but of course this comes as no surprise as he comes on quite quickly with women.
This insanity goes over the top when he falls for one young girl patient he saves when she is involved in a car accident with her texting boyfriend.
Her mother is at once suspicious and as Dr. Beck becomes more infatuated with his patient, he becomes more violent by cursing and throwing objects when he is thwarted in his attempts to seduce the girl.
Roberts surely displays a Dr. Jekyll-Mr. Hyde personality to the fullest extent and his obsession leads to total insanity with faking the girl's death by burning a deceased hospital patient in her car with everyone thinking that the young girl is dead, while he has tied her up.
Brilliant acting by Roberts highlights this production.
