"Nail-Biting Suspense"
Added 11/11/2009
I have always enjoyed "A Perfect Murder". Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow star as a rich New York City society couple who seem to live the idealic life. Soon we discover that the woman is having a torrid affair with a young stud, played beautifully by Vigggo Mortenson, and that the husband has learned of the betrayal. Eventually, the husband hires his wife's lover to kill her. What follows is a movie that is filled with plot twists and surprises, and just when you think you have the story figured out the writers take you in another direction. Wonderful acting and flawless photography (the movie was filmed in the Big Apple), "A Perfect Murder" was based on the play "Dial M For Murder", which was turned into a movie in 1954 directed by Alfred hitchcock. The DVD comes with an alternate ending, 2 feature-length commentaries, and more. Jeffrey Lyons from WNBC-TV says it is "One of the slickest, savviest thrillers in a long time". The movie comes in both full and widescreen formats.

A Perfect Murder/ DVD
Added 3/13/2009
The DVD, A Perfect Murder is an excellent movie! I enjoyed it very much. Received it in perfect condition and in the time frame that I expected,infact earlier. Now that I shop on Amazon it's so convenient that I actually don't go out to the record or video or even the book store that much, I just enjoy shopping from home. Also I've come to know some of the venders that sell on Amazon and I know which ones are prompt and reliable. Thank you. Laura Beck

"The only way you leave me is dead"
Added 10/21/2008
As far as thrillers go, this is my favorite kind. I loved the story of an unhappy wife having an affair and the husband who decides to pay her lover off by having him kill her so he can collect all the money she's worth which is a lot. There are many twists and turns and things don't quite go as expected which just makes it all the more interesting and exciting. Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow are both actors I truly enjoy so they make the film all the better. And Gwyneth looks as beautiful as ever here. I have not seen Hitchcock's Dial M For Murder, but I read the producers felt like there were many areas to explore with this type of story that wasn't explored in Dial M. I also love how the Emily character was portrayed as a strong, smart woman who longs for happiness but unfortunately is not as smart when it comes to the men in her life. Recommended for fans of thrillers or Paltrow: The Talented Mr. Ripley and Hush (which ends up being more campy). Recommended for fans of thrillers or Douglas: The Game and Disclosure.

Not too spectacular
Added 12/16/2003
LA confidential is awesome, but I can't really see the logic in packaging it with a bunch of mediocre "hits". City of Angels is not a good movie, and a perfect murder lacks any depth whatsoever. Contact is interesting, but too slow to hold much interest. Don't buy this gift set, instead, pick out the movies individually....LA confidential being the best.
