While most will review this as B-movie junk, I tend to differ. I remember seeing this film around 1990 or so on cable and I was instantly caught up in it. I think what I liked most about the film is the theme of looking for lost love. The lead character is played by "Sex In The City's " Chris Noth. He plays a government agent sent to infiltrate a Asian Crime Syndicate. While in Indonesia, Jakarta to be exact, hence the title, he is also in search of an old flame who was involved with this sydicate. Suzee Pai, you might remember her from " Big Trouble In Little China" as the Chinese girl with green eyes kidnaped along with " Sex In The City's" Kim Cattral. There is a little espionage and a few tense moments. But what I think attracted me to this film in the first place is the location. You get to see Jakarta in all it's glory or lack thereof. Ancient cultures and beliefs always intrigued me. I often try to find a balance in these genre films. I like the locations and Suzee Pai is just fine as the femme fatale. Sure the acting is not Oscar caliber but sometimes it's nice just to watch a movie that doesn't take itself to seriously. Overall I would recommend this film to die-hard B-movie fans who like exotic locations and beautiful women.

I really enjoyed this suspenseful police crime-drama, beautifully filmed in the crisp autumn colour of northern New Jersey, coupled with the movie's multiplicity of historical inter-linkage to that frighteningly tragic, 1963 November day in Dallas. The day America changed forever, and not for the better, right up to the present era.

The movie begins slowly with young (ex)NYPD officer, David Secca (Carl T. Evans) and his expecting wife Jennifer Secca (Arija Bareikis) relocated from Queens to a small, rather boring little township across the Hudson, in sleepy, suburban New Jersey. This small town is also where the officer Secca was originally born & raised, along with his recently deceased father, who served with distinction on the local police force.

Very soon into this picture David joins the same northern New Jersey town's police department as a detective.

While the young couple were antique shopping for their new home, Jennifer really likes an old wooden jewelery box, which the couple purchases. At home Jennifer & David discover something crucial inside the jewelery box, which develops into an exceedingly dangerous Pandora's box of multi-layered, far reaching, ongoing government conspiracies, involving the vicious, assassination of President Kennedy.

Chris Noth plays a local N.J. college professor, Steve Lynde, who recently authored a good selling book on the events surrounding the assassination of JFK, however he does not buy into conspiracies, nor the New Jersey detective's extremely interesting discovery, who sought out professor Lynde's assistance -- until, the professor himself is swiftly drawn into the mounting danger, directly resulting from his contact with detective Secca.

The additional fine cast members include some familiar faces from films as well as TV shows, such as Tony Lo Bianco, Barbara Barrie, Vincent Curatola, Don Harvey, Frank Gio, Noelle Beck, April Ortiz, Sharon Angela, Peter Criss, among many others.

One thing I would have liked is that this well done, intense, crimes-in-high-places thriller went a bit longer.
