djustincole What a surprise! I had no idea I was included with such notables as Virginia Madsen and Treat Williams. "Third Degree Burn" was a great project and I feel privileged and honored to have been included among two such fine actors. My goal on "Third Degree Burn" was to do the best with what I was provided. It was obvious Virginia Madsen was going places fast and Treat Williams was destined for stardom as well. My New Goal is to be cast on "Smallville" as Senator Martha Kent's new love interest and Clark's future Step Father. A Positive Attitude and Great Sense of Humor can carry an actor a long way! Thank You IMDb. You are the Biggest and Best Movie Database on the Planet Earth! Thank You Everyone for your kind and flattering comments. Sincerely, Kal-El's Future Dad, D.Justin Cole formerly known as David Paul Cutler
dion72997 Thank You HBO. Pay per view has never been better on a cold rainy night! Now that Treat Williams has a successful hit series and Virginia Madsen has become a virile man's dream, it is now time for David Paul Cutler to get his just rewards. His reaction to Ms Madsen moving around inside her spaghetti string sun dress was as erotic as Virginia herself. The rental counter hid the better part of his performance and assured an R rating, thank goodness! HBO can keep "Tales From The Crypt" but keep Cutler up and coming. Waiting for his next unique character will be a deserved trial but well worth the time. After seeing what she did to David Paul Cutler, I will always prefer Virginia as a Blonde! I may have located Cutler in Park City, Utah. Now the work begins. I'll keep you posted. Anybody know a good snowboard instructor? "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"
littlelake1577 This is the first I've seen of David Paul Cutler. His treatment of this character was astounding. I came across this film recently in search of Virgina Madsen films and was lucky enough to discover another possible favorite actor. Hope to see more of him soon in a larger role. He's got the"look" for numerous roles, including, hopefully, leading man. Kudos to the casting rep for finding David Paul Cutler! If anyone has seen this actor in other more recent films, please discuss his performance. Despite David's contribution to the film, I think the movie as a whole needed a little more development of some of its bit role players as this would have provided much more depth to the plot.
Keith Kjornes If you're a fan of the erotic thriller, this one works and works well. Yes, you've seen it before. Yes, there are no surprises. Yes, Virginia Madsen is hot hot hot-- not nearly as psycho as THE HOT SPOT but is dead on contender for the Kim Novak / VERTIGO prize as the cool ice queen with the ability to melt the screen. What a great noir style film, even though it's predictable and clichéd by today's standards. Hell, this was old back when it was made in 1989! Treat Williams plays a private detective set up to take the fall for the murder of Virginia Madsen's wealthy husband. This isn't rocket science, but it is a fun ride. Except-- until you get to the end. No real spoilers here, but the ending plays out in broad daylight, no thrills, no surprises, no tension. Sorry to see that. It almost feels rushed and faked, as if the original ending was too oblique and the producers whipped up this dumb ass replacement at the last minute. It ruined an otherwise decent little thriller.
