A classic neo-noir and a definitive 1980s erotic thriller, Jagged Edge stars Jeff Bridges as a dashing newspaper publisher accused of brutally slaying his rich socialite wife in order to inherit her fortune. Glenn Close plays the high-achieving female attorney who is compromised when she enters into a torrid and steamy love affair with the accused. Sleek, stylish and suspenseful, Jagged Edge benefits from assured direction by Richard Marquand, an ingenious script from Joe Eszterhas, and seasoned character actors Robert Loggia and Peter Coyote providing memorable support.
