Someone to Watch Over Me (1987)
Country: US
Technical: col 106m
Director: Ridley Scott
Cast: Tom Berenger, Mimi Rogers, Lorraine Bracco, Jerry Orbach
Synopsis:
A cop is detailed to protect a witness in a high-profile case, but when his interest strays beyond the professional he jeopardises both his marriage and her safety.
Review:
Highly designed, as one would expect from this director, this thriller nevertheless eschews formula thrills in favour of spending more time with its triangle of characters. This tends to diminish comparisons with the contemporaneous Fatal Attraction, and the villainous Andreas Katsulas as the assassin takes over rabbit-boiling duties.
