Summary: Final analysis
Review: A psychiatrist breaches professional ethics by falling in love and starting a romance with the sister of one of his patients.
The sister of his patient steals the psychiatrist heart by telling him that she's not happily married. Her husband is abusive - gangster kind of guy. Soon she kills her husband and her excuse is: she suffers from Pathological Intoxication.
And if she proves it she'll be safe. Isaac (Gere) believes all she's saying and helps her a lot but soon he discovers that she
was lying all the time and that she's dangerous - but it's too late now for Isaac to bring her to justice as he's already deeply
involved in her crimes.Great classic thriller

Summary: Well Done Thriller is based on Unprofessional Conduct
Review: As a counseling psychologist and a psychotherapist with 20 years experience,i found myself outraged by the grossly inethical and highly pathological antics indulged in by dr.Isaac Barr in this obviously Hitchcock inspired thriller.Dr.Barr has mishandled things from the very beginning,and if he had handled it properly,never would have ended up in the mess he falls into.First,a woman comes into his office one night,unannounced,states that she's the sister of a patient,and pumps him for information.He accedes post-haste.(If I had come in,claimed that i was the King of Spain,and requested the same data,would he have complied?I certainly hope not.)You never give out information on a client without having them sign a Release of Information,previously.Secondly,a Freudian psychoanalyst especially will not have anything to do with the family members of a client.The rationale is that everybody is entitles to their own therapist.Third,less than 3 hours after he and Heather meet,they end up in bed.Isn't that moving much too quickley?If she looked like Lush Rimbaugh,would it have proceeded in this fashion?Again,I hope not.This lonely needy man is acting out of unconscious impulses,not out of appropriate sexual feelings.the,they have numerous dates,and he interferes with her marriage,getting mixed up with her gangster husband.He arranges things in her favor at her trial,gets her off the hook ,and then is outraged when he discovers that he's been duped.his collegue,upon discovering all of these shennanigans,should have insisted that Barr re-enter therapy pronto,worked up a supervisory relationship,andin the case of non-compliance,informed the local medical society,the local psychoanalytic group,and the medical Board.What Barr is doing is highly inappropriate,almost criminal,and shows a repeated lack of good judgment,and trouble with boundaries.Professionals have lost licenses for this.

Summary: Final Analysis-zero stars. Uma Thurman-infinite stars
Review: Bad movie. Lame, over-the-top, cliched, dull, one-dimensional characters, formulatic Hollywood ending. I have nothing against Richard Gere nor Kim Basinger. The acting is fine. What makes this movie so bad is the script, direction and story. And oh yeah, the DVD stinks too; horrid transfer, bare-bones with zero bonus material. A bootlegged video would offer better picture and sound quality than this.
But as much as I've bashed this movie, I recommend getting it, for the sole reason of a very young (and oh my lawd, ever so sexy and gorgeous) Uma Thurman. She will make your saliva glands work a double shift. Uma is THE reason for owning this movie. Fast-forward to every scene with her and you're all set. Forget the rest.
My final analysis of Final Analysis: no stars for actual movie, 2 stars for Uma Thurman (one star for Uma and another star for Thurman). Enough said.

Summary: Good Job Kim Basinger
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. Suspense, many twists and turns and I have to say that Kim Basinger was awesome. I also thought Eric Roberts did an incredible job in the short time he appeared in the movie. If you like suspense and some surprises, you will enjoy it.

Summary: Great flick above Basic Instinct!
Review: If you're into mind games, this is a movie treat for you. I'm glad this dvd is out so i added it to my collection. For the price i paid for this dvd, it is worth it. I only wish there were added features like a theatrical trailer and biographies of the actors. In this movie, Kim Basinger played a sweet & innocent but daring role into pursuing an opportunity of getting rid of her rich husband (Eric Roberts). The object of her desire is her sister (Uma Thurman) and hunk psychologist (Richard Gere) who all three gamble for deceit and manipulation. The question is, who of the three will prevail? The movie naturally ignites with heavy drama and suspense with metaphores and their meaning. This is what Richard Gere, the psychologist, needs to figure out. I just love that part when Richard Gere entraps Kim Basinger in saying "You're right about double jeopardy". I think this is the best acting role that Kim Basinger had ever pursued over all her other movies even LA Confidential, where she won Golden globe award as best actress.

Summary: Terrible DVD, ok movie
Review: The quality of this DVD is bad; that's being kind. It's a full-screen movie transfer, which some people actually prefer because they like to miss a lot of the movie. Also, the transfer is very grainy. The actually movie isn't that much better. You see what could have been, but instead they try to throw around a few twists just because they think they should. Uma Thurman is wonderful. That's about all this movie has to offer. Very DUM ending.
