The Guilty Reviews

---

Polished modern noir movie
This crisp and well made little movie is set in Florida ,during what appears to be a season of perpetual rain ,virtually every external scene taking place in a downpour .
Bill Pullman plays an ambitious and ruthless lawyer who is appointed to a Federal judgeship ,a position he has long coveted .There are however clouds on his personal horizon .His wife is having an affair with his best friend ;he has an illegitimate son ,a minor criminal with a conviction for auto theft ,who has found out about his father and wishes to track hin down ;in addition his new assistant,a most attractive young woman is blackmailing him after he raped and fired her .
His solution ? Hire the son to kill the blackmailer and then set him up to take the rap .The only thing he did not anticipate was that the two would fall in love ,or that one of his son's criminal associates would then seek to step up to the plate .
The plot is slick ,cynical and twisty and a very capable cast do it full justice .

This is derivative but well made and attractively cast ,making it an enjoyable way to kill 90 minutes or so

GUILTY PLEASURE
Bill Pullman stars as a cocky, self-assured federal judge-to-be who seems to get away with murder..or does he? Pullman takes his secretary out, and in a fit of drunken stupor, rapes her. She threatens to expose him; he decides to hire someone to kill her. Director Anthony Waller keeps the pace a little slow, but does manage some great camera angles and a few plot twists to save the day. Devon Sawa, Gabrielle Anwar, Joanne Whalley and Angela Featherstone provide good support and the ending is a real doozy!
A nice change of pace mystery.
