Final Analysis Reviews
An Engrossing Thriller!!!
I recently saw this movie for the first time and was pretty surprised at how much I liked it. Even though the plot was weak, I thought the acting was pretty decent. Gorgeous Kim Bassinger plays the sister of Uma Thurman who is a psychiatric patient of Richard Gere. Gere gets involved with Bassinger, who is unhappily married to Eric Roberts, a mafia-type businessman. Bassinger kills him (Roberts); and has Gere and a lawyer-friend of his represent her in a trial. Just when you think that you know how the movie is going to end, then there is another twist. First you think that Thurman is the psychologically ill one, then Bassinger, then both. But it is not as simple as that either. There is a curmudgeonly detective played by the terrific character actor Keith David. Just give this one a chance. You don't have to necessarily own it, but I would say to rent it at least. Make your own "Final Analysis".
GREAT LEADS, HARE-BRAINED SCRIPT
Was it two love triangles, or three? Difficult to tell in this twistathon psychological thriller that couldn't resist the tempation of ending in your customary lighthouse sequence on an inclement night with the hero hanging by his fingernails high above the lashing tides below.
Long after you've forgiven the newly discovered condition of Pathological Intoxication (one I'm convinced the director suffered from) which causes the sufferer to go berserk after so much as touching alcohol, you will recognize that the chemistry of Basinger and Gere and Therman, and permutations thereof, is great, but the plot soon puts on maillots and starts twisting like an immigrant ballerina.
Take copious notes when you watch it, which you must, if only for some excellent acting especially by Eric Roberts as a mean millionaire. You may emerge dazed or goofy, convinced that you've seen a humdinger, but you won't be able to describe it so it won't hurt all that much.
