Final Analysis (1992)
Country: US
Technical: col 124m
Director: Phil Joanou
Cast: Richard Gere, Kim Basinger, Uma Thurman, Eric Roberts
Synopsis:
A psychoanalyst conducting an affair with the sister of a client must decide how best to help her when her drinking problem leads her to kill her husband in self-defence.
Review:
Fashionable erotic thriller, commercially calculated to reunite the stars of No Mercy. It dangles far too many elements before the viewer, from a dangerous gangster husband to its heroine's psychotic episodes, all the while wondering what to do with Miss Thurman and her stories of childhood trauma. The accumulation of incident leading to an overripe conclusion is typical of a genre that was never more than film noir with nookie, but there are compensations along the way.
