One of Halle Berry's first star vehicles, The Rich Man's Wife has a quirky, unearned twist for an ending, but everything else is pretty obvious. So obvious, it's possible to review it like this: See Halle.
Halle is a wife.
See Halle's husband.
The husband is mean.
See the barfly.
Halle tells the barfly how she feels.
The barfly is not well.
The barfly kills Halle's husband.
The barfly tricks Halle.
Extort. Extort. Extort.
Halle has to run.
Halle has to fight.
Halle has to carry this movie.
Act, Halle! Act!
Halle has no help.
Plot, people! Plot! And, no, even though it's rated R, she keeps her clothes on. -- Keith Simanton

This forgettable film can be summed up in four lines:
When marrying for money
Expensive clothes and cars
It's better not to bare your heart
To creepy guys in bars
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Why you should watch this movie:
1. Halle Berry
2. A very young Clive Owen
Why you should skip this movie:
1. Horrible plot
2. Holes in aforementioned horrible plot
3. You need ANOTHER reason?
Rated: 2.5 stars

It's one of Halle Berry's(The X-Men movies, Gothika) first movies for jebus' sake. The only good thing about this movie is seeing Clive Owen(Gosford Park,Closer) in it but he doesnt even make this movie gold, the only sad thing is I knew who would kill him and the way he died, I guess Owen needed the money. Peter Greene(Under Siege2, Pulp Fiction)plays another badguy, like we havent seen that over and over again, he really needs to get better roles. Christopher McDonald(Terminal Velocity, Quiz Show)plays Halle Berry's wife and who dies. Things happen and it gets all crappy and once you know it the movie is done with. Wasted of a good cast.
