Product Description

Product description

A powerful Wall Street power broker tries to get his wife's lover to murder her.
Genre: Suspense
Rating: R
Release Date: 8-FEB-2005
Media Type: DVD

Amazon.com

The husband (Michael Douglas) is a currency trader whose portfolio value is going right down the drain. The wife (Gwyneth Paltrow) is the heiress to a $100 million fortune. The marriage is not a happy one, but the promise of long-term affluence keeps them together. The wife pursues an affair with an artist (Viggo Mortenson) who gives her all the passion she doesn't get at home, and when the husband finds out, well ... someone's going to pay with their life. Who will the unlucky one be? We wouldn't dare spoil the elegant plot twists of this devious thriller, but it's well known that Douglas excels at portraying greedy characters with ice in their veins. Here, it's easy to assume that Douglas has pulled off, as the title implies, a killing that nobody will ever pin on him. But this is the kind of glossy thriller (loosely inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder) that delights in disrupting your expectations, so it grabs your attention right up to the final scene. It's a bit too cold to really draw you in (hey, these are not very nice people we're dealing with here!), but with its able cast and stylish direction by Andrew Davis, this less-than-perfect murder thriller is still definitely worth a look. The widescreen Special Edition DVD includes audio commentary by Michael Douglas, Andrew Davis, and producer Peter McGregor Scott, an alternate ending deleted from the finished film, and sketches by the film's costume designer. --Jeff Shannon

Great remake of Dial M for Murder with better clothes

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2024

Cast is perfect: Gwyneth as the trophy wife, her husband as a vain middle aged guy, and the con man who lures women into bed for money. Twisty plot, great clothes and hair for Gwyneth, and she defeats the would-be murderer by sheer strength and grit.

Michael Douglas is pure evil in this movie!

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2023

Verified Purchase

You just love hating Michael Douglas in this remade thriller as he deviously plots to have his wife brutally attacked and murdered by her lover while he's at his weekly card game with his rich buddies. And he's such so evil that he calls home to hear her and listen to her getting attacked on the phone because he gets some kind of perverse satisfaction out of hearing her drawing her last breaths and screaming for help. The jokes on him though when he gets home from the card game and finds her curled up in a bloody ball on the floor with a knife in her hand and a dead guy on the kitchen floor as she was able to overcome her attacker. The plot thickens as she begins to figure out that the man who came to kill her could only have gotten into her home with her husband's assistance and the problem is that she's the one with the fortune, not him. And she's a whole lot smarter than he is. It's awesome to watch an intelligent woman outsmart a vicious man who has evil in his heart.

Rich People Are Different

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

The apartment in this film is magnificent, and beautiful Gwyneth Paltrow fits perfectly in its setting.

The best line in this film is "Rich people are different from you and me." They are. They demand more. They want more. They expect more.

This film is about deceit and greed. Emily (Gwyneth Paltrow) is married to Steven (Michael Douglas) and she is having an affair with David (Viggo Mortenson), a struggling artist. Steven finds out about it, and he goes to David and offers David $500,000 to kill Emily. David loves money more than he loves Emily and agrees to do it. Why did Steven want to kill his wife? Emily is an heiress. Steven wants to inherit her billions. What ensues is incredible. Is it a perfect murder?

The buildings in this film are the Otto Kahn Mansion at 1 East 91st Street and the James Burden Mansion at 7 East 91st Street. The mansion at 1 East 91st Street was sold to the Convent of the Sacred Heart, a private Catholic all-girls school. Six years later the Convent of the Sacred Heart purchased the James Burden Mansion next door and combined the two sites. The Otto Kahn and James Burden Mansions were also used in these films: "The Anderson Tapes," The Verdict," "Working Girl," "Night at the Museum," "Duplicity," "White Collar," and "Spider Man 2." The interior of Emily's (Gwyneth Paltrow) and Steven's (Michael Douglas) massive penthouse cannot be found in either mansion, however. Their apartment was part of a huge 11,000 square-foot set built at the Jersey City Armory in New Jersey. (Source: Google)

This film is outstanding. The cast is superb.

Great Remake of a Hitchcock favourite

Reviewed in Canada on November 26, 2011

Verified Purchase

When I first watched this movie, I was transfixed by an actor I'd never seen before--Viggo Mortensen. He plays the cuckolding lover with such gentleness, such sensuous passion, I found myself thinking about him and his performance weeks after I saw the movie at the theatre. With Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow starring, this remake of "Dial M for Murder" is absolutely fabulous. In fact, I like this movie better than the original because Ray Milland was too easy to hate as the greedy jealous husband while Michael Douglas is still charming as hell, even when we know he's a controlling, arrogant, self-serving villain. Also, Grace Kelly was much blander than Gwyneth as the victim. Gwyneth shows spunk, justified suspicion and intelligence. I'm sure that's partly due to the 48 years of cultural changes that separate these films, but I remember wishing that Grace was a bit brighter when I first watched it in the early 1960's--and I was just a child. In Perfect Murder, there was one glaringly outdated scene--Gwyneth gets out of the tub to answer a phone ringing in the kitchen; in 1998, when this was made, every New York yuppie would have an answering machine, and probably a phone in the bathroom as well. Although I wince a bit when I watch this scene, I overlook it because I assume the writer/director wanted to keep the film as close to the original as possible, and the scene following it is so well done that it is just a blip. I only mention it because it seems to stand out (then I've watched it dozens of times) and I want to give a complete review. Still, it is a masterpiece, in my opinion.
