D P Apr 4 I think I felt disappointed by the ending. I suspected that we were watching a warped viewpoint, but I thought I knew where it was going. I like to be wrong, and I wasn't far off here, but I wasn't impressed with the true story. It was just a letdown. See more David F Jan 8 This movie about a pair of hairdressers and the very obnoxious husband of one who gets murdered features a lengthy police precinct interrogation, a very faithful-seeming recreation of lower class life in the New York City area circa 1991, unreliable narrators, and a twisty, thriller plot. There’s nothing revolutionary, shocking, or brilliantly cinematic here, but it is a fairly well-down murder thriller genre film. See more 04/20/2024 Mortal thoughts can be good or straight up murderous. Demi Moore co-produces and stars next to Bruce Willis, Harvey Keitel, and Glenn Headly. Cynthia Kellogg is best friends with Joyce who a while back got married to James Urbanski. Unfortunately James has an enormous temper, gets drunk regularly, and often takes his rage out on others. His wife had had enough. John then ends up dead but is it justified? Cynthia is currently being investigated by the authorities about what led up to the alleged murder. Detective John Woods heads the interrogation. The pieces of the story slowly come together and it unlocks some disturbing revelations as both of these women's lives are falling apart. The misdirection was actually handled pretty well. Moore and Headly make a great pair of friends. The film asks fundamental questions of whether murder is actually justified given how monstrous the victim is. Even our morality can be sustained for so long we abandon it. Either the guilt or innocence eventually sets in. A smaller budget of a thriller with some decent actors to boot and some smart plotting to keep the suspense adrift.

See more 12/31/2022 Overall, this is a fun thriller that begins with a vague and small storyline that grows into something far greater than I expected.  It's filled with exciting mysteries that keep viewers engaged and continually guessing the big reveals.  Performances are great, with Demi Moore being mysterious and believable and Bruce Willis playing a harsh character.  With a good musical score and dark tones, this is a rewarding thriller that mixes themes of violence, friendship and trust.  The climax ends on a high note which also feels extremely rewarding, making this film quite entertaining all around.
