Highly Overrated But Still Good

As Good As It Gets

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Being a huge fan of Hitchcock's works and other suspense movies like "Along Came a Spider" and "Body Double", I found this movie pretty good. Good plot, well made, good acting. Plenty of surprises.The plot is one of those that motors along solely because nothing ever goes right. All of the twists are perfectly thought out and it makes for a delightfully messed up tale, but it all totally unrealistic because, come on, who is ever really that unlucky? Also there were a few twists that really were weak . . . the smoking gun in the court room was a joke. Most people who wear contact lenses also have glasses by their nightstand. That was not even hinted at as that would blow a hole through the plot so big you wouldn't be able to watch the movie on your 13" TV screen. And this must have been the era when the push for more gratuitous male nudity was on. There are lots of Hitchcockian touches: the premise itself from "Rear Window" and a stabbing scene at the ballet from "North by Northwest." Not a bad movie at all.Overall rating: 7 out of 10.

Nice guy architect Terry Lambert (a solid and likable performance by Steve Guttenberg) has a steamy fling with his boss' sultry wife Sylvia Wentworth (finely played with classy sexiness by the ravishing Isabelle Huppert). Sylvia witnesses vicious predatory rapist/killer Carl Henderson (a genuinely creepy portrayal by Brad Greenquist, who conveys a sense of real chilling menace although he barely speaks throughout most of movie) attacking his latest victim while looking outside the window of Terry's apartment. Terry decides to cover for Sylvia and tells the police he saw the assault. After his testimony falls apart in court, Terry finds himself being tailed by the cops as a possible murder suspect. Writer/director Curtis Hanson expertly crafts a taut, absorbing, and stylish thriller which moves along at a steady pace, builds a good deal of suspense, and offers a pleasingly twisty narrative which becomes more increasingly complicated as it unfolds. This film further benefits from sturdy acting from a capable cast: the delightful Elizabeth McGovern adds considerable charm and panache as spunky and appealing near victim Denise, Paul Shenar is totally credible as smooth CEO Collin Wentworth, Carl Lumbly and Frederick Coffin are excellent as the two no-nonsense detectives on the case, and Wallace Shawn contributes a stand-out turn as Henderson's shrewd and smug lawyer. Popping up in nifty bits are Maury Chaykin as a lecherous pool player, Leon Rippy as a seedy bartender, and Mark Margolis as a jerk in a phone booth. Gil Taylor's glossy cinematography gives the picture an attractive slick look. The moody score by Michael Shrieve and Patrick Gleeson never becomes too overbearing or obtrusive. The last third with Perry and Denise setting up a trap for Henderson is quite tense and exciting. While not always plausible and full of plot contrivances, this movie nonetheless still sizes up as a very satisfying and entertaining item.

This was a fascinating thriller in the style of Alfred Hitchcock.Terry Lambert (Steve Guttenberg) is having an affair with his boss' wife (Isabelle Huppert) and she sees an assault while looking out the window. He wants to do the right thing so he informs the police that he saw it, getting the details from her.Things fall apart and both the rapist (Brad Greenquist) and the attacked (Elizabeth McGovern) know he is lying, and soon the police are after him for the rape/murders.Things definitely get exciting as he tries to clear his name and catch the real killer (like OJ?).It ends as expected, but not before some really tense moments. Really worth watching.

Steve Guttenberg, (Terry Lambert) plays the role as a guy who gets himself involved with a sexual romance with his boss's wife and while they are making out in bed, there is a scream from a woman outside their window. The woman goes to the window naked and observes a woman being attacked and identifies the rapist and tells her lover all about it. Terry decides to report the incident to the police and says that he observed the entire sexual assault because he doesn't want his boss to find out about his affair with his wife. Elizabeth McGovern, (Denise) is the woman who is attacked and she gets herself deeply involved with Terry Lambert and she even goes to bed with him. There is plenty of twists and turns to this mystery and I cannot go into more details without giving away some very dark secrets to this film. This is a good film and well worth spending your time to watch. Enjoy.
