| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe thriller is always looking for something that is missing and never finds it. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyAs an alcoholic ex-actress, Jane Fonda gives a brilliant, Oscar-nominated peformance in Lumet's routine thriller set (for a change) in L.A. |
| Filmcritic.comChristopher Nullalternately insults you and makes no sense at all |
| Slant MagazineDan CallahanSidney Lumet directs wearily; as a thriller, it's full of holes. |
| User ReviewPeggy YNot much hype about this movie but the acting was the best for jeff Bridges an Jane Fonda. |
| User ReviewPhillip DJane Fonda and Raul Julia ran away with this picture. |
| User Reviewjeffrey rI had mixed feelings about the script every time I re-watched this, but saw it again recently and enjoyed every minute of it. Really good character study and fine acting by the 2 leads. I like the entire beginning of this and the scenes too where she cleans up the apartment. excellent stuff there. |
| User ReviewStephanie AReally good thriller with Jane Fonda giving an excellent performance. I especially like the first part of the film, with her 'cleaning'. |
| User ReviewAj VA good thriller from Lumet, a great director, and it has a great cast too. I really liked this movie. |
| User ReviewThomas PThsi movie opened brilliantly, but unfortunately does slide somewhat into cliche territory, which is a shame as it has many things going for it: Lumet directing, great visuals abd use of LA locations we generally dont see and a virtuoso performance from Jane Fonda. The movie should have stayed in the vain of character study , which is how it so brilliantly starts, before deciding to be a rather flimsy murder mystery. See it though, if only for Fonda's excellent work. |
