Absolutely brilliant
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Thanks to a couple of IMDb reviewers I checked out "The Operation" with Lisa Hartman who is in my opinion a hotter or a sexier actress than Nicole Kidman the story actually made sense. I appreciate originality in movies for good or for bad. I enjoy movies with twists but Malice is a total rip off of the old TV movie with a ridiculous "twist" added in the end but unfortunately it's still a rip off. When L A Takedown was remade and turned into Heat it was all the same writer same director it was ok although more money couldn't help the story get any better. Aaron Sorkin, you're pathetic.
Yes, it's true this movie has plenty of flaws and is full of plot holes. However, if you are willing to look past all that, "Malice" can be a diabolical treat!! It boasts an awesome cast, which includes Alec Baldwin, Nicole Kidman, Bill Pullman, Anne Bancroft, George C. Scott, and Gwyneth Paltrow (in one of her earliest roles) and is highly entertaining all around!The acting is dead on, especially by Alec Baldwin who churns out a chilling performance as a supremely arrogant surgeon with a chip on his shoulder. Also, this is one of the only roles I can recall where Nicole Kidman plays a purely evil character with sinister motives, and she pulls it off well. The film begins with a serial killer/rapist wreaking havoc on a small, New England town. Bill Pullman and Nicole Kidman play a married couple who somehow get involved with Alec Baldwin and that is where things start to take a turn for the worse. The film is wonderfully eerie and chilly. It reminded me a bit of an old Hitchcock film. Again, if you can bypass some plot inconsistencies and swallow the red herrings thrown at you, you will indeed be entertained. Some might call it trashy entertainment, but this film still remains to be one of my all time favorite thrillers!
A tale about a happily married couple who would like to have children. Tracy teaches art, Andy's a college dean. Things are never the same after she is taken to a hospital and operated upon by Jed, a "know all" doctor.Roger Ebert called the film "one of the busiest movies I've ever seen, a film jampacked with characters and incidents and blind alleys and red herrings." Many critics mention the red herrings and this has led to the film being critically downplayed, getting mixed reviews. In fact, this was a large part of what I enjoyed -- finding out every so often that things I thought were important really made no difference.The best thing about films like this is that they make you (or at least me) want to watch them again to see what was missed. Surely knowing some outcomes will make the second viewing all the more interesting.
Harold Becker directed this suspense thriller that stars Bill Pullman & Nicole Kidman as Andy & Tracy, a seemingly happily married couple who would desperately like to have children. Alec Baldwin plays a new doctor in town named Jed whom Andy used to know. After Tracy suffers a botched operation at the hands of Jed, his life falls apart, although it gets worse with both a serial killer loose on a college campus(with him as suspect!) and his growing suspicion of his wife, which proves more than justified... Good cast and direction, but script is too convoluted and far-fetched to be believed, piling too much on poor Andy, who is the undeserved victim of a most "malicious" plot.
