Joy B. @9mr_0 Jan 12 فلم جيد . القصة جيده الى حدما لكن المخرج سرد الاحداث بشكل بطيء اكو تحولات بالقصة لكن كانت ضعيفه و سطحيه بدون عمق درامي . اداء الممثلين كان متوسط تطورهم كان متباين بين العادي و الضعيف . التصوير كان جيد لكن في بعض الاحيان كان ضعيف . الموسيقى بارده ما تشدك وي الاجواء. See more Matt L @Mattliptak Oct 28 Guilty as Sin is a curious relic of early ‘90s courtroom suspense—flashy, over-dramatic, and not entirely sure what it wants to be. Don Johnson leans into the sleazy charm of a suspected murderer with just the right amount of smirk, and Rebecca De Mornay holds her own as the ambitious defense attorney who gets pulled too deep into his twisted web. They’re the best part of the movie by a long shot. But then the confusion begins. Jack Warden pops up in a role that feels more like a random favor than a purposeful casting choice—his character doesn’t contribute much beyond reminding us he’s a legend who deserved a better project. The boyfriend of De Mornay’s character feels oddly inserted, almost like he wandered onto the wrong set and they just kept rolling. The soundtrack doesn’t help the cause either. It’s overly dramatic, almost parody-level at times, telegraphing suspense we never quite feel. The tone swings wildly between moody thriller and courtroom soap opera, and the result is uneven at best. In the end, Guilty as Sin isn’t a total loss—Johnson’s performance alone provides a guilty-pleasure vibe—but the movie struggles to execute the tension and intelligence the premise promises. Not terrible, not great… just mediocre enough to keep you mildly entertained on a rainy afternoon. See more Jeanne S @RT97916045 06/16/2024 Terrible film, dumb plot and badly executed. Good acting but not sufficient to redeem it. Rebecca de Mornay is strong; Don Johnson was fine but the whole thing was silly. I watched it to see an older 90's film which was like a time capsule, but this isn't one that needed revisiting as it turns out. See more Mike H @mikeho247 10/28/2023 One of the most underrated gems from the ‘90s golden age of thrillers. It’s crisply directed by A-tier director Sidney Lumet. The scenery chewing performances from Rebecca DeMornay and Don Johnson are worth the price of admission alone. Then there’s that killer twist at the end. A must-watch for fans of thrillers in the vein of Basic Instinct, Fatal Attraction, Single White Female, Malice, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, etc. See more Steve D @RT35616104 09/12/2023 Contrived and ridiculous. See more 07/12/2022 I suspect there will always be a place for these early 90s over dramatized suspense thrillers on my watchlist and I will always get a kick out of the acting that is usually featured in these type of plots, from that era. Rebecca De Mornay and Don Johnson are no exception, delivering enjoyably over the top performances while playing their game of cat and mouse. Johnson is given the opportunity to take his role a bit further, bordering on ham or cheese at times, both equally appetizing in this case. I always appreciate a Jack Warden sighting as well. This film almost got a whole other star for the jaw droppingly wild, and yet somehow absolutely fitting, ending that had me squealing out loud in shocked delight. 6.5/10 See more Read all reviews
