Malice is a movie for a change in the mood; a nice and slow plot is enough to keep you seated. But the ending twist in the movie is what raises you eyebrow. A good story by Aaron Sorkin and Jonas McCord. They really used their brains. A nice performance by all three actors, Bill Pullman, Alec Baldwin and Nicole Kidman. The dialogues were not as good as they were needed in the movie though, and the director Harold Becker wasn't good enough for this movie; it had a poor direction. But good for a one time watch.

A couple Tracy & Andy Safian (Bill Pullman & Nicole Kidman) lives in a small town, happily but tight on money. They rent a room to a surgeon Jed Hill (Alec Baldwin) who is new in the town. As their life goes on, Tracy gets some abdominal pain attacks occasionally, one day it gets worse and she is taken to the Operation Theater. Jed does the operation and cuts down the organ causing those pains. But when the reports come, it says that the organ was a healthy organ, and Tracy sues Jed. The twist in the story comes after this. So it would be better for you to see it for yourself.

The main subplot is good, overall I give it 6 out of 10 stars and that's because there were some scenes that weren't needed in the story but they were there. So go on, it's okay. But it's good for one time watch.
