| Michael Douglas stars in this remake of a Hitchcock classic about a man who
discovers his wife's sleeping around with an artist, but the artist is really
a con-man in disguise, so he hires the con to kill his wife. One would expect
this to be a mystery, or at least a suspenseful drama, but it strictly works
by-the-numbers, with no major plot twists or surprises. The dumb thing about
it all is that she gets it all-- even though she's guilty of adultery, the
film rewards her character. It doesn't make any sense. |
