Lauren Porter (Linda Hamilton) is a respected psychology professor with a troubled past who believes that she might have developed multiple personalities. In order to find help in determining her condition, Lauren recruits a student, ex-police officer Tom Beckwith (James Belushi), to follow her and observe her activities. It soon becomes clear that Lauren does indeed have another personality -- one who happens to be a hedonistic temptress involved in plenty of dubious dealings.

Deborah Hornblow Hartford Courant "Separate Lives'' is billed as a psychological thriller but the film's silly premise, unlikely plot twists and often embarrassing direction rule out any suspense. The only burning question generated by David Madden's film is when, oh when, will it end?

Frances H Not the best suspense/split personality film. The best of this genre are movies like Psycho and Vertigo by the master--Hitchcock. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/23/15 Full Review Audience Member Jim Belushi sleepwalks through this and Linda Hamilton tries to show off the body she sculpted for T2 but the lazy script does not let her. It's a boring movie that you will figure out after the first flashback and the last 30 mins are just over the top crap with nothing worth seeing if you make it to the end. Both stars have worked with Arnie in the past but not even Arnie could have saved this boring mess of a movie had he been in it.

The film first of suffers from being badly miscast. Neither stars are right for their roles, and neither are at all convincing. For a film dealing with a multiple personality, it sure is not very exciting. Poorly directed. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
