DVD Reviews of Above Suspicion
DVD Review: A Well Spun Yarn. (Spoilers)
Summary: 4 Stars
A man and his wife lived on a farm. They were having financial troubles and one day the man went up to his wife.
He touched her b/reast\s and said, "If I could get milk out of these, I could get rid of the cow."
He then touched her between her l/eg\s and said, "If we could get eggs out of this, I could get rid of the chickens."
The wife then grabbed her husband's p/en\is and said, "If I could get h/ar\d out of this, I could get rid of your brother."
That's as close of a joke I could find to go with the film. It's pretty interesting, but still a "B" movie.
Christopher Reeve is a cop who gets shot and becomes paralized. He has a lusty wife who begins an affair with his flunkie brother who Reeve's character always calls "a f@#k up." But he cares about the "f$%k up."
I sided with Joe Mantegna throughout the whole movie because Reeve was just evil in my opinion. What kind of ego does a man have to have in order to kill two people he claims to love because they betrayed him. "You betrayed me, therefore you no longer deserve to live." I don't understand that mentality.
Still, it's a suspenseful and good psychological drama.
DVD Review: Art mimics Life
Summary: 3 Stars
What I find most interesting about this story is that it gives a virtual prediction in film of what happens in reality to Christopher Reeves' life.
Reeves' character, Dempsey, is a police officer who gets shot in a crime bust early in the film. This leaves him a paraplegic, confined to a wheelchair, and unable to use his lower body. He subsequently becomes depressed and suicidal. Does this ring a bell for anyone else here?
I was surprised the reviews I read below didn't mention the uncanny coincidence in the screenplay written five years before Reeve's tragic accident that left him a quadriplegic, a disability Christopher Reeves never recovered from and to which he finally succumbed.
DVD Review: The perfect...crime?
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is sooo well done! An awesome cast: Joe Mantegna, the very sexy Kim Cattrall, and, of course, Christopher Reeve. Most importantly this movie has a great story. Just as you know, in a Bruce Lee movie, that he's [Lee is]nearly invincible, you know in this movie that Christopher Reeve's character is sharp as a tack, squared away and "wearing his game face". Joe Mantegna is a most worthy adversary. This is a masterfully crafted suspense movie. Kim Cattrall is devastating [steamy&cold-blooded]. You'll want to be in Chris Reeve's corner.DVD Review: very cool...
Summary: 5 Stars
I caught the end of this movie on tv a while back and the ending has always stuck with me. I could never find this movie at any local store so I just decided to buy it on amazon(it just arrived and I just finished watching it).This movie is excellent, many twists and turns, fine acting by Chris Reeve(R.I.P Superman)and the rest of the cast. Also, like I said before it features a very cool ending...kinda chilling...check it out!DVD Review: Terrific thriller with a strong role by Christopher Reeve.

When his unfaithful wife (Kim Cattrall) Cheats on him with his brother (Edward Kerr), when he finds out, he goes on a revenge and everything are not as they seem to the Ex-Police Detective.Sharply directed by Steven Schachter but the real winner goes to Screenwriters: Jerry Lazarus, William H. Macy (Boogie Nights, Jurassic Park 3) and Steven Schachter. Also actor Joe Mantegna gives a fine performance. Made for Television from the Home Box Office (HBO) Network. Grade:A-.
