Review of A Perfect Murder (1998) by Steven1981 — 13 Apr 2020

A Perfect Murder was directed in 1998 by Andrew Davis, director of The Fugitive... A Perfect Murder stars Michael Douglas, Gwyneth Paltrow, Viggo Mortensen and David Suchet.... It's a quite glamorous thriller/crime film that is beautifully directed and Gwyneth Paltrow looks great.

Steven Taylor (Michael Douglas) finds out his wife's sleeping with some dude called David Shaw (Viggo Mortensen) and basically goes over a plan with him to execute or kill his wife. There's a few twists in the film and even though that's basically some or if not all of the story then don't be fooled because it's not that straight forward because there are twists that develop in the movie and all not quite goes to plan.

Michael Douglas gives the best performance in the movie but Gwyneth Paltrow looks incredibly beautiful and she's okay. The characters are all likeable and the story is good and it's never boring and the dialog is okay.

It's a film that gets you thinking and isn't over the top and beautifully well made. A Perfect Murder to me is a perfect film and I see no faults with it and is one of Michael Douglas's best movies.
