Adrian Lyne directed this film starring beautiful Diane Lane and Richard Gere. She is supppoosedly a happily married suburban housewife but she gets involved with a younger man in New York City, a dealer in rare biooks. Over time husband Gere begone to susprct her and he hires a private eye to tail her and photograhed her and her lover together. Gere visits the younger man with tragic results.
Gere is excellent as a mild mannered owner of a decurity company and Lane is fine as the sexy guilt ridden wife. Very well acted. The DVD has a lot of extras, including deleted scenes and a Charlie Rose interview with the two stars and director Lyne. The films original ending was changed to make it more ambiguous after test audiences didn't like it.
Follow Ups:
They don't , or he doesn't, get away with it? The audience preferred inept police? Just curious.
The original ending had him getting out od the car and moving toward the police station. It's a measure of moral bankruptcy that the audience preferred tha more ambiguous ending.
and Lyne's usual atmospherics are all this has going for it, IMO. Man, Diane Lane....Lyne's a strange director. Just watched his Lolita over the weekend and was quite impressed. He's so intent on making his films steamy and controversial (I think he probably took up Jacob's Ladder only because it had earned a reputation as the script no one in Hollywood wanted to touch) that Lolita's content, taking care of itself on that score, allowed him to approach his material with greater sensitivity. Dominique Swain makes the movie worth watching all by herself. Hard to believe she'd never acted and never had any training in acting before that role.
