Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The husband the wife the lover. One is the mastermind one is the victim one is the killer. But which one is which? and who ends up dead? the thrills and suspense play out to perfection in this sexy twisty star-powered tale. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 02/08/2005 Starring: Michael Douglas Gwyneth Paltrow Run time: 107 minutes Rating: R Director: Andrew Davis

Amazon.com:
The husband (Michael Douglas) is a currency trader whose portfolio value is going right down the drain. The wife (Gwyneth Paltrow) is the heiress to a $100 million fortune. The marriage is not a happy one, but the promise of long-term affluence keeps them together. The wife pursues an affair with an artist (Viggo Mortenson) who gives her all the passion she doesn't get at home, and when the husband finds out, well ... someone's going to pay with their life. Who will the unlucky one be? We wouldn't dare spoil the elegant plot twists of this devious thriller, but it's well known that Douglas excels at portraying greedy characters with ice in their veins. Here, it's easy to assume that Douglas has pulled off, as the title implies, a killing that nobody will ever pin on him. But this is the kind of glossy thriller (loosely inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M for Murder) that delights in disrupting your expectations, so it grabs your attention right up to the final scene. It's a bit too cold to really draw you in (hey, these are not very nice people we're dealing with here!), but with its able cast and stylish direction by Andrew Davis, this less-than-perfect murder thriller is still definitely worth a look. The widescreen Special Edition DVD includes audio commentary by Michael Douglas, Andrew Davis, and producer Peter McGregor Scott, an alternate ending deleted from the finished film, and sketches by the film's costume designer. --Jeff Shannon



Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "The only way you leave me is dead"
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 ... Read More


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - I bought this?
Yes, I bought this! Really mind bending and blowing with how this guy manipulates his wife's thinking. Wonderful suspense and mystery in every minute. Gwyneth Paltrow plays innocense, Michael Doulas plays mystery to the hilt! Get it for yourself.


Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Watch your back.
A Perfect Murder is a great suspense but I still feel like something's lacking from this cat and mouse game. Gwyneth Paltrow saves this film from sinking, she is fabulous, seductive, and connvincing as an unfaithful wife. Michael Douglas tends to over-act here and Viggo Mortensen is a nice piece of eye candy. I like this film but I wasn't jumping for joy, decide for yourself.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Terrific replacement
I am in the midst of replacing some of my favorite movies on VHS to DVD. This one ranks toward the top. The movie is in great shape and was delivered promptly.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - love this flick
great cast and plot. wonder if this really has happened? wish I lived in the apartment that gwynth/michael had in the movie.
