Rating: Summary: A Fool in Love.... Review: When two people meet and seem just perfect for one another....well, that is how it seems. When a beautiful woman's blind date doesn't show up, she spots a handsome stranger across the room sitting by himself. Then he misteriously turns up at her work and they become soul mates, get married...and the scene flashes five years into the future. Now, you would think that after being married 5 years, you would know who your were married to...but don't be so sure! This movie just gets more and more freaky. It will calmly scare your socks off. One of Goldie Hawn's best movies as far as I can tell. If you like her acting...watch Overboard! It is hillarious. This movie is a thriller and has all the elements of suspense you need. The ending is a real drop-dead surprise! It is rated R for violence near the end as far as I can tell. Otherwise, the only terror is in your own mind.
Rating: Summary: Nail Biter Review: While some might call the plot twists of this 1991 thriller improbable, for me the tension and build to the film created a momentum that carried us to the incredibly scary climax. Doing less than 30 million in box office, this was not a big hit; but it is a film that holds up remarkably well 12 years after release. Goldie Hawn does an excellent job as Adrienne Saunders, a woman who seems to have it all with a beautiful child and happy marriage. Her husband Jack seems like the All-American father. Then when a colleague of her husband's gets murdered, clue upon clue seems to fly up in her face until Adrienne has to confront her husband. Then he mysteriously dies in a car accident. Director Damian Harris who seems to thrive on thrillers such as last year's "Mercy," does an amazing job of having event build upon event. The supporting cast of characters do a great job from Jack Saunders' sister to Paul Sullivan's mother. While this may not be a perfect film, it is a thriller that packs a wallop. Goldie Hawn delivers an understated and believable performance as the terrorized and deceived wife. This is a film worth discovering or revisiting a little over a decade after its release. Enjoy!

Rating: Summary: A Hitchcock Look-a-Like...EXCELLENT! Review: Wow. I never thought I'd see the day when a movie comes out in my time that is like an old Hitchcock-type movie. Wow. Just wow. I was kept in suspense the whole way through. Great. Just great, fun, classic suspense.
