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.

From the beginning, I was thinking that the American eighties gave us a number of interesting films. I secretly hoped that this film could also have the proper old atmosphere that is literally gushing from the American movies of the time. And it did. The actors are absolutely amazing, although Glenn Close is still about two levels above the rest of them. While at times it is a weaker legal drama, towards the ending it turns into an absolutely amazing thriller that simply deserves the fourth star.
