Great thriller...
25 April 1999
Warning: Spoilers
This is a very exciting movie.The actors are great especially Michael Douglas who is perfect as Steven Tyler who wants his wife dead and hire her lover (Viggo Mortensen) to kill her.But something goes wrong and now Steven doesn't control the situation anymore.It´s almost as good as Hitchkock's first movie which this is based on. James Newton-Howard's music is also good.

I´m not a fan of Gwyneth Paltrow but she is actually rather good in this movie. I didn't like her parts in Emma and Sliding Doors. Viggo Mortensen is very good as David Shaw who Steven hires to kill his wife. David Suchet is great as the suspicious cop who doesn't trust Steven when everybody else thinks that he is a good guy.

You can watch this movie and afterwards you just can't let it go out from your head. Michael Douglas has found his right style in this kind of movies.Wall Street,The Game and this one is perfect examples of a great Douglas-film.OK he was also good in Falling Down and Fatal Attraction but this Douglas is much better.

The rate is:7.5 out of 10
