Instead of a compelling and tense movie, we get a disappointing exercise in Hollywood cliché.

The wholesome cast completely obliterates the unstated perversities that have been this genre's reason for being.

Not a bad thriller, as far as thrillers that aren't very good, go.

The screenplay, by Joe Eszterhas, does what it can to throw up a smokescreen, but the audience will probably be well ahead of the story's final resolution.

An exciting "whodunit" that fits in with the sensational crimes reported in the tabloids.

Like many entries into the genre, Jagged Edge works best when it's watched with a minimum of analysis.
