Because writer Joe Eszterhas has continually reworked the same basic formula (hero/heroine falls for murder suspect), it's easy to forget how startling the scenario was when it was first employed in this compelling thriller. Glenn Close plays the defence attorney haunted by a case from her past when the wrong man went to jail, who falls in love with her latest client (Jeff Bridges), a charming publisher accused of brutally murdering his wealthy wife. Director Richard Marquand never misses a beat, gleefully tossing in red herrings and keeping the viewer constantly wondering whether Bridges is innocent or guilty. There are expert support turns from Peter Coyote and a foul-mouthed Robert Loggia, and it remains an enthralling, if a tad incredible, ride.

Worth watching
A film that got rave reviews at the time. But, hey, that was 20 years ago and film making has moved on a bit since then. So, don't be too disappointed by the somewhat 'dated' appearence of this film with the corny 80s soundtrack and straightforward story line. 'Jagged Edge' won't be the best film that you've ever seen ... however, it certainly won't be the worst.
A good thriller that will pass an evening quite happily, but will certainly not leaving you screaming for more! -
