Plot: Someone to Watch Over Me, a mystery thriller directed by Ridley Scott is the story of a police officer who falls in love with the woman he is hired to protect and the effect of this affair on his marriage and his life. Claire (Mimi Rogers) an extremely wealthy socialite is the sole witness to a mob murder and is in great danger. Mike (Tom Berenger), a happily married NYC police officer is assigned to protect her and takes up residence in her foyer while she waits to testify. A romance develops between the unlikely couple which threatens Mike's marriage to Ellie (Lorraine Bracco). All of this sounds more exciting than it is, and while the film fails to generate much suspense, the love story and Mike's dilemma are interesting. All the performances are excellent, particularly that of Bracco as the no-nonsense wife. The score is exceptional and the photography and set decoration are all fine. Someone to Watch Over Me is a fine police thriller and love story. ~ Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide

Great suspense film
Added 7/23/2009

This is my all time favorite suspense/thriller movie.

Berenger is fantastic, as is the woman who plays his wife.

Rogers does a fine job as the female lead.

I thought scanearios like this happen all that often, but it still found it believeable.

GRIPPING ROMANTIC SUSPENSE THRILLER
Added 4/3/2009

Tom Berenger is sensational in this romantic thriller movie from director Ridley Scott. He plays Mike Keegan, a newly promoted detective, who is given the assignment of (as the police put it)"babysitting" the witness to a brutal murder. The witness, Claire Gregory, played to the hilt by Mimi Rogers, is beautiful, classy and well-educated. She's especially upset because she's just seen a close friend get stabbed to death. These actors have real screen chemistry (it's not forced) which makes the movie work. While Mike Keegan is attracted to Claire from the minute he sees her, he tries to keep those feelings at bay and just be professional. However, the more time he spends with her, the harder that becomes. Lorraine Bracco is one tough cookie and does a wonderful job of playing a police officer's wife. The "perp", played by Andreas Katsulas, is really scary; he does a great job playing a psychopathic killer. All in all, a very talented cast, great plot with suspense and a taut feeling throughout really combine to make this an outstanding movie. When you think about it, we all need "someone to watch over us" and that movie really makes that come through.
