Double Exposure

This movie is well-cast, well-written and well-executed--all a credit to writer Ms Christine Colfer, and director Ms Claudia Hoover; the story is believable and suspenseful; of note to would-be viewers is that this movie 'tickles' the brain, and is absent 'sensory overload' with special effects; look further if interested in beauty, drama, intrigue, intellectual stimulation and suspense;

Twisty plot seems contrived. The acting is acceptable, however most characters are unlikable. It's almost as if the script started with the mild surprise ending, and then was written how to arrive there. The sex scenes are redundant, the story somewhat confusing, and the ending somewhat unsatisfying. The whole thing has a TV movie feel to it, and the conclusion comes across as rushed for a story that is perhaps a little to complicated for it's own good. If you are a Ron Perlman fan, this might be worth checking out, as his performance as an unscrupulous private eye is perhaps the best part of "Double Exposure".......... - MERK

10 stars (or 5 bags) for this popcorn classic and a personal favorite of mine. Be sure to get your vcr ready for this classic film starring rob pearlman

A jealously possessive husband (Ian Buchanan) finds that his "girl in cotton wool" wife (Jennifer Gatti) is having an affair. He has a contract put out on the mystery boyfriend but the hit is botched and his wife is killed instead. Now he wants both the mystery boyfriend and the hit man dead…but who the "mystery boyfriend" and "hit man" turn out to be....

This film is TV movie quality with a nice twist at the end (50-50 chance you'll guess it). Has some semi graphic sex scenes and a short non-nudity rape sequence.

Ron Perlman has a supporting role as a private investigator with secrets both past and present and he imbues his character with a nice mix of regret and ruthlessness.

Favorite line(s): spoken by the husband to his and his wife's friend: "You would tell me if she were having an affair, wouldn't you?" her reply: "Would I tell her if you were having an affair?"

Worth a rent/buy used.
