The date movie of the late 1980s, this had everyone arguing in
the aisles. Does Michael Douglas deserve the unwanted attention he and
his family are receiving at the hands of loony stalker Glenn Close?
After a weekend extramarital affair with colleague Close, he returns
home to wife Anne Archer, and Close becomes progressively angrier. You
might even say she is boiling bunny mad.
Directed by Adrian Lyne, this is not your average thriller, as it
garnered six Academy Award nominations. The plot is too obvious, but
the dialogue rings true and the intense performances hold the story
together. Anne Archer deserves kudos for side-stepping cliché as the
strong but frightened wife, and Close is a scream as she chews up the
scenery.
The film's original ending, which was reshot after poor preview
screenings, has been added to the video release. --Rochelle
