I find it quite hard to get as excited as other users on this page about this film, it really is nothing that has already been seen before. Even in 1981, murdering your husband for the inheritance wasn't an original storyline and even more so now with all the American trash that is produced. Whoever thought it would be different by sticking Kathleen Turner's shapely figure into the equation was wrong. The acting, as with all soap operas, is poor. William Hurt's capabilities were shown up at the end, as he just couldn't handle the final moments of the film. His only motivation for this project seemed to be the constant clinches with Turner(but who can blame him).
Overall, this is just another episode of Diagnosis Murder with a bit more flesh. Grossly overrated at 7.4/10. I give it a 6 - 5 for Kasdan's direction, 1 for Turner.
