Movie Reviews of Jagged Edge
Movie Review: engaging, but neither memorable nor a candidate for re-watch
Summary: 3 Stars
This film has a lot going for it. The cast is absolutely superb, with Bridges as a mysterious and charming defendant who seduces his lawyer, Close. The lawyer has many issues she is struggling with: a divorcee single mother, career choices that haunt her with guilt, and a case that saps her flagging energy. Thus, it is supposed to be a thriller with realistic people, and it succeeds at it. Unfortunately, it leaves an unsatisfying feeling at the end, which is a deus ex machina non-surprise. Nonetheless, it is pretty good, just not great.
I would recommend renting this rather than guying it.
Summary of Jagged Edge
Close stars as an attorney who falls in love with her client, a man accused of killing his wife.Genre: Mystery
Rating: R
Release Date: 3-FEB-2004
Media Type: DVD
Before screenwriter Joe Eszterhas wrote the ridiculous Showgirls, he crafted some entertaining if porous thrillers along the lines of the 1985 Jagged Edge, a taut mystery about an attorney (Glenn Close) who defends a newspaper publisher (Jeff Bridges) accused of murder. The fact that Close's character falls for him is more convenient than plausible, but it is a necessary emotional bridge for Eszterhas and the late director Richard Marquand (Eye of the Needle) to build toward a powerful finale. Scary, fun as courtroom dramas go, the film is well serviced by the two lead stars and has impressive support from costar Peter Coyote and especially from Robert Loggia, who plays Close's cop buddy. --Tom Keogh
