Profile for Murder

I felt I had to warn any of you that were tempted by the all positive reviews of this movie so far. It wasn't the worst I've ever seen, but still bad none the less. One of the users even commented that it ripped off other films, yet praised it. Attempts to shock, just repels. Totally nonsense ending. Great looking women can only get you so far. 3 out of 10.

Lance Henriksen gives a strong performance in what is otherwise a very scrambled movie. Sure you get a couple sex scenes with Joan Severance, but unfortunately they are tied together with a pseudo seduction that is beyond boring. Henriksen's intriguing character driving his red Viper is more interesting than the anemic script. My biggest objection to "Profile for Murder" is that the film definitely takes liberties with the audience as far as believability is concerned, and the ending tries for twists and turns, that come out of nowhere. This is not one of Lance Henriksen's better movies, but it is a watchable Henriksen performance. - MERK

This is a good movie except for some of the details. The leading man is a little on the elderly side for the character he plays. He is supposed to be an investment banker. He wears an earring (to make him look younger?). Watching him taking Viagra would have been more convincing. Nevertheless, even with those handicaps, he delivers a credible character. The ME looks like a homeless man that believes that he is funny. The district attorney has a much self-control as a hungry coyote (A real one, not Peter). The leading character high power attorney acts more like Don Knotts than Perry Mason. The police department consists of two detectives with no forensic personnel. No wonder the Joan Severance character thinks she can do better detecting. The detectives look over the suspects appartment mostly out of curiosity. They never perform any kind of a search. It never occurs to them to search the suspects boat. The end is literally incredible. Other than these, the movie is not too bad.

Quite good like erotic film. Like a crime story is for me combination of "Silence of the Lambs" (scene in prison - L.Henriksen just like A.Hopkins?) and "Basic Instinct" (rivalry since school, sexual urge and surprising final). Though Lance Henriksen becomes him.

I feel that Joan Severance (Dr. Hanna Carras in the film) is good in any film she plays in. This movie goes right to the top of my line, as a great movie.

The sex scenes are so, so, nothing hard core. The hot masturbation seen that Joan Sererance puts on is a must see.

A ten star movie in my book.
