Movie Reviews of Malice
Movie Review: I like it more each time I see it. You gotta pay some close attention though.
Summary: 3 Stars
I remember when this movie came out it got panned pretty good. I actually think I watched Siskel and Ebert do their original review with mixed reactions. And that's understandable. This movie can be confusing. I understand it more with each viewing. Some may say they pack too much in this movie for it to be comprehensible. That too isn't unfair. But this movie falls into the "the more you watch it" category- you definitely realize more with each viewing. That's not how a movie should be I realize. But in some of my favorites it is. I've gone from 50/50 on this movie initially, to an 8 or 9 out of 10 scale. I think Baldwin is at his best as is Kidman. Bebe Neuwirth isn't utilized so much, and this surely isn't the fetching Bebe that I adore so much either. And there are some spectacular small performances by Peter Ghallager (Hollywood's perpetual attorney), George C. Scott, Anne Bancroft and Tobin Bell. A pretty loaded cast along with Pullman, Kidman and Baldwin. Though the most shining moments are from Baldwin and Kidman, playing the passionate conspirators, Bancroft makes the most of about a 10 minute scene that not only explains a lot, but is reminiscent of Geraldine Page's scene stealer in "The Pope of Greenwich Village". The ending was satisfying in many ways also. I tell you, I know this isn't time capsule celluloid, but I like this movie a lot. It entertained me, made me think, kept me guessing, and gave me an acceptable pay-off. Try it, but bear in mind, you can miss a lot on a the quickest of bathroom breaks.
