Tom Huddleston Time Out A melodramatic thriller which did surprisingly well in the US given its implausible straight-to-video scenario. Undistinguished. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone It's got suspense but no staying power. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly The only thing that makes this ludicrous botch even borderline watchable is Alec Baldwin's enjoyably supercilious performance as a leering stud surgeon who thinks nothing of belting back shots of bourbon before going in to perform an operation. Rated: C- Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins In its efforts to be unpredictable, the film instead becomes unbelievable. Rated: 5/10 Sep 14, 2020 Full Review Chris Hicks Deseret News (Salt Lake City) Malice is a film that very much wants to be a combination of Body Heat and classic Hitchcock -- but how you take to it will depend on your patience with silly cliches and plot holes large enough to hide dinosaurs. Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Robert Roten Laramie Movie Scope The plot is twisty enough to keep you guessing through most of the film, but not all of it. Rated: B Mar 4, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

D P Lately, I've been giving a movie good marks simply for not putting me to sleep. Seems to be a lost skill in Hollywood. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/25 Full Review nick s The writing seemed to be all over the place, as if the authors weren't sure what sort of movie they were making. It wasn't a terrible production but I didn't find myself drawn into it because of that. Dropped out halfway through. From reading other reviews it doesn't sound like it got any better. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/09/25 Full Review Melissa L I can't believe that this movie was rated so low. I think this was an excellent thriller with a just ending. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Kate B I don't really understand all the negative reviews, as I like this movie very much and watch it every few years. The plot twists are great and so are the performances. My guess is people find the set up implausible but I tend to overlook that because of the malevolence and evil that Kidman and Baldwin display is so chilling. Loved Bebe Neuwirth and Anne Bancroft's supporting roles Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Frans B Leaves a little to the imagination and why not? Great acting from leading characters, script okay, overall plot does have some holes to fill, but hey, again, opportunity to use your own imagination hey? Worth a watch Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Read all reviews
