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

 A Perfect Murder January 5, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
A playboy husband plots to kill his heiress wife, believing that she's going to run off with her lover and leave him penniless. He persuades the lover to kill her, but he hires someone else to do the deed. The wife kills the intruder, and the lover starts to blackmail the husband, having taped the conversation in which he was hired. A succesful thriller. I recommened it to people who like mysteries and suspense.
"Nail-Biting Suspense" November 11, 2009
Terry Richard (Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada)
I have always enjoyed "A Perfect Murder". Michael Douglas and Gwyneth Paltrow star as a rich New York City society couple who seem to live the idealic life. Soon we discover that the woman is having a torrid affair with a young stud, played beautifully by Vigggo Mortenson, and that the husband has learned of the betrayal. Eventually, the husband hires his wife's lover to kill her. What follows is a movie that is filled with plot twists and surprises, and just when you think you have the story figured out the writers take you in another direction. Wonderful acting and flawless photography (the movie was filmed in the Big Apple), "A Perfect Murder" was based on the play "Dial M For Murder", which was turned into a movie in 1954 directed by Alfred hitchcock. The DVD comes with an alternate ending, 2 feature-length commentaries, and more. Jeffrey Lyons from WNBC-TV says it is "One of the slickest, savviest thrillers in a long time". The movie comes in both full and widescreen formats.

A Perfect Murder/ DVD March 13, 2009

The DVD, A Perfect Murder is an excellent movie! I enjoyed it very much. Received it in perfect condition and in the time frame that I expected,infact earlier. Now that I shop on Amazon it's so convenient that I actually don't go out to the record or video or even the book store that much, I just enjoy shopping from home. Also I've come to know some of the venders that sell on Amazon and I know which ones are prompt and reliable. Thank you. Laura Beck
