The last time I saw A Perfect Murder I was around 13 or 14 years old and I watched it a couple of times at that time. I caught it on tv and I couldn't resist because I know that I really loved it back then. After 10 years I still enjoyed watching it. I remembered most of the things but it was still suspenseful and full of twists and turns, although it loses a bit of tension and gets a little messy in the final part. The thing that I remembered less was the ending, which if I enjoyed it years ago (I don't remember but I probably did) this time I didn't like it so much. The acting is very strong. Michael Douglas, Gwyneth Paltrow and Viggo Mortensen did a great job. I discovered that this is a remake of an Hitchcock film, Dial M for Murder, I really need to check it soon.

I agree with the other comments, the movie keeps you tight, you might think you know where it goes but then you don't, but then you do, and so on. Intriguing, but yes, the ending is not that satisfactory as I wanted it to be.

A good movie! Although the ending could have been a bit better, it still is a solid pick.

I hate Gwyneth Paltrow from the bottom of my heart. In EVERY SINGLE movie I've seen her, and as a human being. Same goes for Natalie Dorkman

This is one I've seen a few times over the years (last time was nearly 10 years ago). Wonderfully devious performance from Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow holds her own (and looks great). Not an amazing thriller but kept my attention to the end. Fine direction by Andrew Davis who a few years bef More
