- Really thrilling movie. It's one of these "The-next-time-you-watch-it-you-
- will-see-it-all-from-a-different-perspective"-films (Like "Angel Heart" or
- "Siesta" or "Crying Game"!!!). I almost died in the cinema seat at one
- special scene. Hm, don't wonna tell you too much.
-
- Liam "Darkman" Neeson plays an (irish?) private investigator in the late 50ies,
- in England, Wintertime. Aaron (Neeson) earns his money in helping some men to
- "accelerate" their divorce-lawsuits (Illegaly, you see). At this time you
- needed only an affair, witnesses and photos included of course. The meetings
- are arranged by Aaron himself, but one day, his wife and one of his
- clients (a rich painter) are found dead in a hotelroom. Of course, he gets
- suspected of being the murderer and that's where the title comes from.
- Dogged he traces the case himself: against Angeline (Laura San Giacomo),
- the rich artist's maitresse. At the same time, however, he get's under her
- spell, becomes her lover.
-
- Splendid properties, extravagant costumes, tremendous sets at the stormy
- coast of Seabath Brigton, nice lady, thick atmosphere, incessant tension
- and a surprising ending - everything a good beer..er...good thriller needs!
-
- If you like Liam Neeson, you'll like this film. IMHO his best role besides
- Darkman. The story - detectiv falls in love with the (most probable) murde-
- ress - has been showed by many representatives of this genre before, by
- Billy Wilder, Hitchcock, from "Final Analysis" to Verhoevens "Basic Instinct"
- ...but I liked this one very much. (Director: Simon Moore).
-
- "No stars, death penalty, HappyEnd?" (just think of Altmanns "Sla.., I mean
- "Player"")
