credit it gets. I would thoroughly recommend this film to anyone who enjoys a good thriller.

everything: not believable, you can't go into someone's home and start breaking glass and vases looking for stuff.b The car chase before Ray shoots his partner and the drug dealer. Driving through fences speeding through alleys. Could have been thought out better.c The ending was a little crazy. Not believable. I would have given the film 10/10 if not for the above items.

Attraction, you had some idea as to why Glenn Close was a wacko..she was a suicidal, insecure woman, and not very attractive. And Anthony Perkins in Psycho was crazy because his mother was overbearing and mean. Jennifer Jason Leigh in Single White Female was very insecure and jealous of her twin sister. So, what was Pete Davis's deal?? Also, I thought Kurt Russell's character was stupid when he told him off in the nightclub. He knew he was a twisted person, so why couldn't he just tell him in a nice way that he didn't want to continue their friendship, instead of telling him to "get the f out of here!"...he was just asking for trouble. But I guess that would have killed the whole plot of the movie. But, all in all..I thought it was a good movie. It just left me with the above questions.

"beat the living crap out of him" and Russell totally panics and refuses. Meanwhile, I'm thinking to myself, "If Madeline Stowe were my wife and that moron put a knife to her throat, I would've taken that nightstick and beat him to death." But then again, I'm saying that while sitting comfortably on my bed, watching the movie. I'm not in his shoes. I'm sure many people would panic in that situation. Though the movie kept my eyes glued to the screen, I could've done without certain plot conventions towards the end. I don't have to spoil it for you. You've seen thrillers in the past, you know what I'm talking about. And the writer could've trimmed the use of lines like "Get the f**k out of here," "Stay the f**k out of my house" and "Stay the f**k away from my wife" or "If you touch her, I'll kill you." I think those lines have popped up in every movie thriller I've seen. But the best reason to see this movie is Liotta's flawless performance. On those grounds alone, this movie is well worth seeing.My score: 8 out of 10

always suspenseful, top notch thriller. 9 out of 10.

and that they feel safe. His kindness takes a creepy turn though, when he sets his sights on beautiful Stowe, Russell's wife. He gets scarier and scarier, eventually becoming totally unhinged and zoning right in on her with volatile lust and unhealthy sociopathic obsession that tears all three lives apart. Liotta is scary good, and his eerie transformation from likable upstanding guy to violent stalker madman is something from a nightmare. Some scenes are downright nasty to keep your eyes on, and you really feel sick watching Stowe get exposed to this cruelty. She's darkly radiant as always though, and Russell shows fear and fury in an awesome role that isn't an easy one to play. Domestic thrillers are a dime a dozen, and often can descend into seedy melodrama, but this one takes the high road and uses genuine skill and well orchestrated tension to glue us in our seats.
