David J A complex lead up in plot begins to unravel into an illogical conclusion as the murderer is a character barely introduced in the first hour & half of the story. Poor developed plot that attempts to use Hitchcock devices . Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Lame murder mystery, No suspense, Clumsy writing, The Kramer vs Kramer team tries to do Hitchcock and fails, What makes this movie watchable is Roy Scheider as empathetic psychiatrist turned sleuth, And there's Meryl Streep, Wow, stunning, She has never looked more beautiful on screen. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review Fabrícia F Suspense com um toque de clichê mas que convence e entretém o cinéfilo com sucesso. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Blu B It's like a mixture of a bad and almost incoherent because of how boring it gets at points, DePalma & Hitchcock Noir film. Schieder & Streep start out great and Streep is gorgous in this but than it gets weighed down by bad editing and pacing. The moment it starts cratering is when they cut to the guy who was killed and the weird Exorcist like scene with the little girl flashback it tanks. Than the auction plot line is so boring and I don't even know what is going on half the time because it's so poorly edited and hard to follow. I just got so bored in the middle. The direction is very hit or miss too and the cinematography isn't good. It's just boring to look at and scenes just don't make sense despite a solid setup in the first 15 minutes or so. Everything else is just alright about it. The plot twist makes sense but also makes no sense too. We never see as far as I remember (might have missed it because of how bored I was) the wife interact with the main two leads so it just comes out of nowhere. And she was just there in the back of the car also? How? The chase and end is kind of cool though despite making no sense. It's a simple Hitchcock style setup at first but devolves into DePalma style scenes at times and becomes a Noir that is so boring and hard to follow. Back to a Hitchcock style flick. The explanation from Streep also at the ened that goes on for 5 minutes is soooooo boring as well. You really could'nt visually show that in a flashback like the other crazy scene? Skip This. It's jsut really flawed and broken. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/25/24 Full Review Jelisije J A movie that kept me interested with a great score, cinematography, directing and acting.......downside the plot has a couple of holes, but it was still a good night watch. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Sonia H Of its time and definitely intriguing. Last minute who dunnit reveal is edge of the seat stuff. I usually dislike watching a feature length film and trying to get back into it. Good cast, Meryl at her best and just enjoyed it not being too over the top.
