unlabelledView post →We can also look at this film with hindsight and see a city in the midst of a great transformation, both real and projected. NYC in the final decades of the twentieth century could be quite gritty. Films like this, A Perfect Murder, Cruel Intentions, etc., aimed to show wealth, power, etc. #HATM
unlabelledView post →It’s not an awful movie on its’ own but A Perfect Murder (1998 with Paltrow and Viggo Mortenson) is garbage when you realize it’s actually a remake of Dial M for Murder

However, One Hour Photo has the only film commentary that Robin Williams did (with director Mark Romanek).

unlabelledView post →Just watched the 1997 film “A Perfect Murder”. Why don’t they make $60m garbage thrillers starring Michael Douglas, Gwenyth Paltrow, and Viggo Mortensen any longer?
unlabelledView post →Talking of reptilian, I love him in A Perfect Murder (very loose remake of Dial M for Murder) in which Gwyneth Paltrow models fabulous clothes, and Douglas busts out his best slimeball, almost as much fun as Ray Milland in Hitchcock's original. The kind of slick fun they don't make any more.

unlabelledView post →Years ago EW had a review of “A Perfect Murder” with a line like, “Gwyneth Paltrow is tired of being married to Michael Douglas, because Michael Douglas is a Big, Angry Lizard” and it’s a description I now think about anytime I see him in a movie.
unlabelledView post →Watched Juror #2, a cross between 12 Angry Men (great film) and A Perfect Murder (great short story). Very cool, very pensive.
unlabelledView post →That blessing evokes the wonderful dialog at the end of the movie "A Perfect Murder" (1998) when Mohamed Karaman (the great David Suchet) says to Emily, in Arabic, "May God be with you" and she replies "And you as well."

unlabelledView post →The one that sealed it for me was Michael Douglas in A Perfect Murder. You could not find a character, hell a movie, that screams ambivalence more than that.
unlabelledView post →Do you have a moment to discuss his performance in "A Perfect Murder"? It's already a great film but somehow he ups its game in every scene he's in: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Perfe...
unlabelledView post →Mmhmm! It was great to see that movie theater employee respond as he did. And I loved when he took part in that particularly involved film discussion with the folks at that 24-hour trucker theater when he went to see A Perfect Murder. It's alllllllll in those details.
unlabelledView post →This reminds me of when we watched A Perfect Murder in film study. Everything looks normal until Michael Douglas pulls out his brick phone.

unlabelledView post →It was a great 3 film run if you include The Package. But his films after that were...not terribly good. With the exception of A Perfect Murder with Michael Douglas, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Viggo Mortensen.
unlabelledView post →Well A Perfect Murder wasn't bad either. Interesting to see these actors in this kind of movie. Think I'm gonna watch a few TikToks or YouTube videos and head to bed.
unlabelledView post →I like this movie and remember also liking the remake A Perfect Murder. But I'm not sure if it's because it was a good movie or because I enjoyed getting to look at Viggo Mortensen. I'll have to rewatch it sometime.
unlabelledView post →In “Make Me a Perfect Murder”, is the pitcher of iced drink Coke in the TV/movie executive’s office? I’m starting to fill in some blanks about Columbo, but what’s his first name? Who’s his wife? Does he really have a wife or is that a lie he uses?

unlabelledView post →I’ve been listening to a podcast recapping A Perfect Murder (I’ve never seen it), and I really can’t picture Gwenyth acting on film, although I know I’ve seen her in Iron Man and Shallow Hal. (And I absolutely predicted this twist)

unlabelledView post →Watched A Perfect Murder staring Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow with Viggo Mortenson and David Suchet. It is a “remake” of Dial M for Murder. I would say it’s inspired by the original plays concept while creating a new story. I found it to be an enjoyable thriller.
unlabelledView post →Last night, I watched A Perfect Murder, a retelling of Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder. It was interesting but also missing details that made "Dial M" so compelling. We get some fun changes from the original, though, so it's still worth a watch. letterboxd.com/film/a-perfe...
unlabelledView post →It's very good. I was actually going to pick Fatal Attraction. It's a great movie! A Perfect Murder is another good movie by him! 😃 Basic Instinct, too!
unlabelledView post →You would be guessing correctly, my friend (PLUS he steals every movie he's in! He's the best thing in "A Perfect Murder" - which is already a pretty good film before he shows up!)
unlabelledView post →MOVIE LORE The spacious "illegal loft space" where the con / painter David (Viggo Mortensen) resides in A Perfect Murder (1998) was owned by Dennis Hopper. It's my hypothesis that Dennis and Viggo kept in touch after Boiling Point (1993), a pretty good neo-noir where neither of them are very nice.
unlabelledView post →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 before directed the great thriller, The Fugitive. 3.75/5
