    I was suspicious of this movie to begin with.. but it was a well thought out concept that keeps you thinking right til the end. It's a who done it? type of film that really keeps you curious throughout the film to whether or not the man is guilty.
    Great acting.

    i remember when i first saw this movie, about 20 years ago, i didn?t recognize the killer in the last scene. so i didn?t get it. someone had to explain it to me later.

    Don't ask me why I'm reviewing this-perhaps I needed to find something truly awful to counter all my favorites..it was such a smash hit,and it sucked so badly,that it qualifies for the "Academy of the Overrated".I've never thrown stuff at the screen in a theatre before,but the scene where Glenn Close finds the typewriter..well,I've never felt a greater irritation,a feeling of being manipulated by a shitty director,more than at that moment.A neurotic pet peeve of mine,or is this one of the worst box-office hits of all time?..you decide..

    Okay -- but we guessed it from the start. Still, little is cooler than a sexy 80s courtroom thriller!

    A very great suspence thriller movie about a man who is on trial for murdering his wealthy wife. This classic 1985 film is one that will keep you on your feet. A great cast with excellent performances.

    The whole selling point of this film at the time was it's "shock" ending. Which is so unbelievably predictable, a 2 year old could guess it. A waste of time.

    Best thriller I have even seen. I would love to see it again. It had me for three days saying" Fue el"...y la tuve que volver a ver.

    A newspaper article gave the ending away before I had a chance to see it on TV. That spoiled it. Joel, who hadn't read the article, picked the wrong murderer.

    Cheesy Eszterhas thriller, but I liked the way Bridges walked the line throughout the movie. He has to play it both ways, and he made it work for me.

    Good Lord, what a contrived piece of poo poo poo. Or could it be that the movie's 21 years old and its age shows in every line of ridiculous dialog...?
