Review Summary and Plot Commentary about A Time to Die
Ex-porn star Tracy Lords stars in this film. Her character is a model who got busted for drugs. She always maintained it wasn't hers, but that she was set up. In the meantime, her boy was taken away from her and given to her ex-husband. Her parole obliges her to take a job as a photographer and help out the police. Richard Roundtree plays the captain who is in charge of her case. She meets cop Jack (Jeff Conaway) on one of the scenes in which she shoots. They seem to hit it off and he aggressively pursues her. In the meantime, she is in the wrong place at the right time and captures a murder on film. The murderer looks up in time to see her car drive away. Now he knows who she is and will stop at nothing to get those negatives or see her dead.
