Cinema Cycle - Final Analysis



CINEMA CYCLE
(Cardio Workout And Reviewing Movies At The Same Time)



DATE REVIEWED: 01/04/2018


FORMAT: Laserdisc

TIME RIDDEN / FILM LENGTH: 126 minutes

DISTANCE RIDDEN WHILE VIEWING: 26.7 miles

TOTAL CINEMA MILES LOGGED: 8420.3 miles

SYNOPSIS: A psychopathic woman uses her psychiatrist to help her murder her mobster husband.


CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: Cross and double-cross and why doctors should never sleep with their patients.  Kim Basinger can be a real bitch.


PROS AND CONS: I didn't have high hopes for this film in the beginning and the first 60 minutes didn't convince me otherwise.  This appeared to be a 'chick flick' where the good looking doctor saves the poor patient from her monster of a husband. 

However, by the second hour of the film, the plot got a bit twisted and unexpected.  This is a well thought out piece with a good script that you really can't see coming at you.

While Basinger shines in this role as does Uma Thurman, Richard Gere seems to walk though the part with little charisma  Ow, and the production concepts suck.  Heads up, but there is no abandoned lighthouse, that is still functional, adjacent to the Golden Gate Bridge. 


This film is a part of my LaserDisc Collection.

Clicking on the title will take you to the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) entry for this film.

This film was viewed while exercising on my recumbent cycle. A summary of my time spent working out on my journey through movie-land can be found on Strava.com.
