Exceção à Regra

This movie is just about allright. I think that Kim Cattrall does well as the deadly merciless hitwoman. But Eric Mcormack is below par as the leading male. Sean Young is also decent as the wife who is the target of Kim Cattrall's murderous intentions.

The plot get's a little tedious and comes to a very predictable end.

Kim Cattrall, Sean Young & William Devane are all very enjoyable in this movie, and the story is generic but not too bad. Now if only Eric McCormack could act his way out of a paper bag or had half the charm of a dishrag... Any decent actor in the male lead and this movie could have been truly "okay."

I saw this movie just for a change in morning time slot.Since Kim Cattrall was in it. Was expecting some interesting plot & a nice story line. But it all when in a huge dis appointment after 15 to 20 mins of starting. Though Kim as a hot antagonist would b a Gr8 thing to watch. But it all was a disaster. This movie has got it all lose plot, average acting & a perfect star cast for a C grade movie. The main hero is shown so dumb as if he is there for just few more extra bucks. Kim from start to end of movie on a Killing spree, who ever comes in her & the diamonds gets a horrible death. It also looks like Kim Cattrall she also did this movie for few more bucks. If u want a Thriller with a hot Femme Fatale on a killing spree there are many much other good options to watch from the A grade list. Try avoiding this at any cost you will only waste your time.

Sporting a ridiculous plot with unbelievable twists in the last 20 minutes, EXCEPTION TO THE RULE becomes a bore quickly because the protagonist is quite dumb and you can predict what will happen next during the first 3/4 of the film.

Kim Cattrall is stuck with a dumb villainess role, Sean Young phones in her performance (she has so little to do, who can blame her), and William Devane is his usual self. Eric McCormack works waaay too hard at times trying to be intense, and he's not a bundle of leading man charm.

This is a classic example of a movie that tries to do too much. Essentially what is a simple blackmail scheme, becomes an overcooked box of silly surprises, especially relating to Kim Cattrall's accomplices. While the first third of "Exception to the Rule" is nothing more than a boring seduction of frustrated diamond dealer, Eric McCormack, the convoluted ending is what really drags on the film. Throw in some very choppy editing, a gratuitous strip club scene, the most obviously staged car chase ever, and there are few redeeming factors left. The performances of William Devane, and Kim Cattrall are acceptable, but that's about it. - MERK
