Entertaining
posted on 31 Aug 2009This movie was if nothing else, entertaining. I don't think the people who made it had any delusions that this film was going to win any awards, but it was entertaining, which is the whole point. Oh, and the thing with the phone, that was specifically a kitchen phone, a seperate line, thats why only the phone in the kitchen rang. But I will agree with you, why she answered it is beyond me, you'd think they'd have an answering machine. But, if she didn't, they wouldn't have a movie.
Perfect c***
posted on 31 Aug 2009This movie is c*** from begining to the end. It relied on some overhyped sex scenes [which themeslves are not much] to promote itself. I really could not blame them for doing that given the movie has nothing else to offer. It shows Douglas, an apparently shrewd and cunning man, rely on a conman to kill his wife. The conman, who being very shrewd too, fails to murder the wife and dies, the movie then shows how Douglas falters in every move to cover his tracs and kill his wife at the same time. To make things worse the wife plays little if any role in his downfall. This movie should be renamed it should be called 'Perfect foul-up of a murder'
Very intriging
posted on 31 Aug 2009An unhappily married rich man hires his younger wife's lover to kill her. Will someone PLEASE tell me who the protagonist is supposed to be here? Other than the lack of a sympathetic character in the story, the rest of this movie is absorbing and quite suspenseful.
flat, uninspired thriller
posted on 31 Aug 2009A Perfect Murder falls far from being the perfect film. Or a good thriller for that matter. Other than Michael Douglas the acting in this film is flat. This movie is about a businessman (Michael Douglas) who finds out that his wife (Gwyneth Paltrow) is having an affair with a struggling painter (Viggo Mortenson). Douglas offers to pay Mortenson half a million dollars to kill his wife. If you've seen the trailers and commercials for this film, then you know that part already. The main problem of this movie was that it felt too predictable. We all knew what was going to happen at the end. Another huge problem is that none of the characters in the movie are likeable. They're all corrupt in their own way, even Paltrow's character. A much better thriller is David Fincher's The Game.
Leave it on the shelf
posted on 31 Aug 2009Don't waste your time here, folks. The ending will leave you with a bad taste in your mouth and an empty space in your wallet. All this movie needed was a good ending. If perhaps she just smiled ONE TIME the end, the movie would have been great! All I needed to see was a little smirk, and the dumb broad was too lame to do even that.
Although interesting, stick to the Hitchcock classic.
posted on 31 Aug 2009This is a pretty good movie, but I like the Hitchcock classic, "Dial M for Murder" a lot better. Paltrow is cool, and Douglas is sheek. In the Hitchcock movie, "Dial M for Murder," Grace Kelly is MUCH better than Paltrow, and Ray Milland is much more cunning than Michael Douglas. Go to "Dial M for Murder" on amazon.com and buy it! Although "A Perfect Murder" is O.K., "Dial M for Murder" doesn't need all of that nudity, language, and blood to get its point across. With Hitchcock, it's always a pleasure. Trust me..."Dial M for Murder" is a lot more "perfect."
Visually enjoyable, good acting
posted on 31 Aug 2009I am a big fan of Dial M for Murder. This was a lot different. The part that does not make sense in this one is why, in that very big home, she would answer the phone all the way in the kithen when she was in the bathtub. In 1998, and in that big of a home surely you would have a phone in the master bedroom (which they do, someone uses it later on in the movie). In the original the flat that they lived in in London was pretty small and back then it was usual to have just one phone. Not a biggie just one of those holes that you wished they would have thought of. Visually I enjoyed it because it's always fun to see how people with that kind of wealth live. Gwenyth dresses beautifully and Michael Douglas is very convincing.
A nice film, with good acting, and convincing story
posted on 31 Aug 2009I thought this film was very good. I saw it in the theater and bought it on DVD. I thought Douglas played his roll very nicely, always convincing. While its true, there is no "Good Guy" in this film, dont let it shy you from at least a rent, and possably a buy. The only thing I didnt like was that is seemed to me, it progressed a little too fast for me early on, but after the first half-hour the pace slowed a bit, and I was able to get into it quite a bit.
Implausable copy of Dial M for Murder
posted on 31 Aug 2009As a fan of Dial M for Murder, I saw it when it first appeared on British TV. The BBC had a sunday night play program and this was one of the stories. This performance and the earlier movie, 1954, with Grace Kelly and Ray Milland was far better, good music too. Director Hitchcock followed the original story. This new movie has some clever twists but also has some awful gaps and holes. I did not like Michael Douglas as one of the leads. I found him very boring, totally dead sounding and looking, (I guess he didn't like the story either) and unconvincing. Indeed he has a long way to go to catch up with his father. Not a good movie.
Wonderful!
posted on 31 Aug 2009I LOVED this movie. I thought it was great, Michael Douglas's best yet. I am partial for I love Michael Douglas. Michael Douglas's character hires his wife's lover to kill her. Things go not as planned and now Michael must deal with his very much alive wife and the blackmailing lover. Michael is wonderfully sexy as a cool business man. The only thing I would have changed is the end, which I will not reveal. I highly recommend it, a good suspense sexy thriller. One thing I don't understand, who in there right minds would cheat on Michael Douglas?
