Wiki.
Backfire is a 1988 mystery-thriller film about a murderous love triangle which forms between an affluent Vietnam War veteran, his wife, and another man. The film was directed by Gilbert Cates, and stars Karen Allen, Keith Carradine, Dean Paul Martin and Jeff Fahey. The film is dedicated to Martin, who died in a plane crash before the film was released.
Filmed in 1987 and planned to be released to theatres, it instead premiered on Showtime in June of 1989. Los Angeles Times critic Chris Willman stated: "cable seems like just the right resting place for such a dully salacious effort."
