Perfect Murder, A

Perfect Murder, A

1998

It's murder most foul when Michael Douglas (at his cold-blooded best) hires a hit man to drop a dime on his philandering wife (Gwyneth Paltrow). But things get snarky when the murderer turns out to be Paltrow's lover! A nice spin on the moody Hitchcock thriller Dial M for Murder, with cool, aloof Paltrow the quintessential 1990s substitute for Grace Kelly.

A powerful husband. An unfaithful wife. A jealous lover. All of them have a motive. Each of them has a plan.
