Review of Jagged Edge (1985) by Helen H — 01 Jul 2006
Starring: Glenn Close, Jeff Bridges, Robert Loggia, Lance Henriksen, James Karen, and Peter Coyote.
Directed by Richard Marquand.
Written by Joe Eszterhas.
Rated [b]R[/b] (for strong sexuality and violence, and for language).
Running time approximately 1 hour 48 minutes.
The best I've yet seen of Eszterhas-penned thrillers, [i]Jagged Edge[/i] really delivers the goods. It's truly frightening and very engaging, with one heck of an effective ending that really makes the tiny hairs on the back of your neck stand up. The direction is nothing special, but Close, Bridges, and Loggia are all quite wonderful in what could have been a disastrous film. It's not, and that's the best part. [b]***1/2 (out of ****) B+[/b].
