Neither director William Friedkin nor star David Caruso could redeem this vulgar, nasty script by Joe Eszterhas. Caruso is a politically ambitious assistant D.A. investigating the gruesome murder of a San Francisco bigwig. Too many clues point in the direction of his former girlfriend (Linda Fiorentino), a shrink who has a secret sideline as call girl to the rich and kinky. For good measure, she's now married to Caruso's best friend, Chazz Palminteri. Friedkin has done much better work in other places; even he can't perform much magic here, though he tries, with a solid car chase (that suffers in comparison to those he staged in French Connection and To Live and Die in L.A.). --Marshall Fine

Most helpful customer reviews   1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: A Bore, Oct 30 2000 By  C. Leidig "cmleidig" (Akron, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews    This review is from: Jade (VHS Tape) Sometimes fantasies go too far. I wish this movie had gone too far. Instead, it's a predictable murder mystery. In fact, there's no mystery. If you can't figure out who did it, you should not be allowed out of your house. The sex scenes are not sexy, erotic or titillating. The movie is just plain boring. You want a sex movie to arouse you. This just made me yawn. Besides, who wants David Caruso to star in a sex movie?

Murder...Excellent Movie, Jul 29 2003 By  Dana Marie Demers (Edison, Nj) - See all my reviews Suspensful,Seductive,Excellent Movie!! Another great role for Chazz Palmenteri. No matter what movie he's in or what role hes given he always takes charge! I Love HIM!! The movie is based on a murder in the begining and David Curoso is the investigator and he has to figure out who killed "him". His best friend is married to his ex girl who you can tell is still in love with. Im sorry that wife of Matt Gavins (Chazz Palmenteri) is a hoe! David has to find out who "Jade" is because that will link to the murderer. The Ending is so unexpected and Suprising! I recommend this movie to everyone! Its Great~ but i must say Chazz Palmenteri shows his characters more as a gangster like in "Bronx Tale" You Should Be more in those movies Chazz, your the big boss man who takes over every movie i've seen him in! You go Boy!~ Was this review helpful to you?
