Actually this is quite a long and boring film. But thanks to the love scene which is quite erotic between Jack Nicholson and Jessica Lange; that makes the film more entertaining. Both actors did a great job in the film. But overall the film is too weak.Lukewarm passion - RobBC
Despite the authentic 1930’s sets and costumes nothing else rings true in this remake of the 1946 noir classic; the sex scenes, while daring for the time, are stagey and lack any passion while the cast come across as stock characters from a cheap novel...whether it’s the cigar-chomping lawyer, the sleazy insurance agents, or the obsessive lovers themselves. There is a lack of momentum here that drains the film of any tension and turns what could have been a dramatic finale filled with irony and divine retribution into a simple tear-jerker. There is an art to making a noir thriller with just the right amount of eroticism and dark suspense, but Jessica Lange’s torn panties and Jack Nicholson’s trademark leer just didn’t do it for me.Look again - Deckard
Warning, this is the 1:33 cutup for TV version, not widescreen, good film and looked forward to viewing but I didn't go to all the trouble of building a home theater to watch TV. With a projector, 7 ft. screen and surroundsound, widescreen only at our house. Had this problem before so I have to remember to read the side bar and not assume that they are all 16:9.
