A game Julia Roberts gives it her all, but Sleeping with the Enemy is one stalker thriller that's unlikely to inspire many obsessions of its own. Read critic reviews

It's competently made, but it suffers from broadly drawn characters and a plot that's much too obvious. Call it a thriller for people who can't quite handle scares and suspense. You won't find any surprises here.

Really really scary. It's sad how things like this actually happen and the plot was really carefully thought about and written well. Julia Roberts was astounding and I had nothing but empathy for her character. Found myself screaming at the T.V and rooting for her. It's a definite must see!

Julia Roberts plays a battered housewife who's living in terror and fear of her husband.Patrick Bergin is the vicious controlling husband who beats her up for the slightest infraction; if the towels are not lined up correctly in the bathroom or the items in the cabinets are not set a certain way. She fakes her own death, moves to a small town in Iowa and starts over. She meets nice guy played by Kevin Anderson but her husband figures out she's alive and begins hunting her. I recommend this edge-of-your-seat thriller to those of you who like a nice, suspenseful thriller or are fans of Julia Roberts

What happens when a beautiful young woman finds and marries her Prince Charming and he turns out to be a psychotic monster.. The movie, a desperate-to-be-Hitchcockian, thriller, casts, (Julia Roberts) as Laura Burney, whose husband, the suave Martin, (Patrick Bergin), is actually a vicious, crazy, wife-beating slug!!!!
