Amazon.com:
Some agreeable Paris location shooting enhances the atmosphere of Tempo, a rather desperately titled thriller from the low-budget universe. Melanie Griffith, looking well preserved, is a highly paid courier for art smugglers (including Malcolm McDowell, in his smiling-panther form). She 'keeps' a much younger man (Hugh Dancy) in her fabulous apartment, but he suddenly finds 'the whole love at first sight thing' with an ex-pat cutie (Rachael Leigh Cook). The suspense plot, about a smuggling deal gone sour, is pretty flaccid, and the supposedly sexy stuff isn't very sexy. Even the romantic triangle doesn't cause that many problems. It's hard to know what Melanie Griffith is doing in this movie, although there are vestiges of some other kind of picture here--something about an older woman searching for meaning or lost youth, maybe. But that's gone, and what's left is negligible cable-TV fodder. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - Hugh Dancy saves the movie
This movie was really bad. The story seemed to be thrown together. The dialogue was not believable. The characters were underdeveloped. Melanie Griffith was terrible, Rachel Leigh Cook was terrible. The only worthwhile quality this movie had can be summed up in three little words: Hugh Dancy Naked. He's the most believable actor in this movie. He really does all a person can do with such awful dialogue, but this isn't his best performance. If you're not a Hugh Dancy fan, don't waste your time ... Read More
Rating: - TEMPO SKIPS A BEAT
In this derivative, limp made for Canadian TV movie, Melanie Griffith stumbled through the role of a glitzy "courier" for obviously illegal products. She has a younger live-in stud (Hugh Dancy in a weak performance) and is sent on a secretive mission by Malcolm McDowell (he pops up in almost anything these days). Melanie also has a sleazy additional boss (played with absent malice by Art Malik) who screws up the McDowell deal and then demands eighty thousand dollars for the effort. Along comes lovely ...

Rating:  - thrills and romance
when i first began watching this movie i thought what is going on all these lights and cars chasing each other but after i got
past that i thought it was a wonderful movie. melanie was ok and
rachel was amazing but hugh dancy was the most amazing one of all. i never expected to see him that way and to see that shower seen well......i'll let every one see it for themselves.
i think this movie was really great and who ever doesn't think
so should watch it again because maybe they fell ... Read More
Rating: - 2 Stars Merely for Mr. Dancy
This movie is so weak I can barely explain how it has damaged me. It seems to rest somewhere between mainstream and indie styles, but in either genre it is a hollow movie. The only good thing about this movie is Hugh Dancy. I love him as an actor (and it doesn't hurt that he's attractive), but I am horribly disappointed in his choice to participate in this film. Bad Hugh. Slap on the wrist and let's all move on, okay? If you need me I'll be in my room, crouched in the fetal position and whimpering softly to ... Read More
Rating: - Utterly Forgettable Thriller / Drama: Very Dull Indeed
Melanie Griffith, Rachel Leigh Cook, and Hugh Dancy star in this straight-to-video film about one female transporter, who gets into trouble because of someone plotting against her. Well, that's all about it, apparently, but the film tries to give something unique to the otherwise unoriginal plot.
I mean, the slightly original character of Sarah by Melanie Griffth, who plays that smuggler in trouble. Given a special job by Malcom McDowell with his customary 'I-could-be-very-baaaad' smile, Sarah ... Read More
