GenerationofSwine
What would you do if you found out the man you were sleeping with was a con artist that was most likely going to blackmail you? We'll Dangerous Touch suggests that you would sleep with him, continue the relationship, and let him black mail you.
And then, despite being a doctor, which sort of requires at least enough intelligence to make it through school several times over, the protagonist continues to make mistakes with the same level of stupidity.
But, it has Lou Diamond Phillips in it, and he's usually worth watching, it's just a shame that he got stuck doing horrible films like this over and over again throughout most of the 90s.
