A melodramatic thriller which did surprisingly well in the US given its implausible straight-to-video scenario. Undistinguished.

It's got suspense but no staying power.

C-

The only thing that makes this ludicrous botch even borderline watchable is Alec Baldwin's enjoyably supercilious performance as a leering stud surgeon who thinks nothing of belting back shots of bourbon before going in to perform an operation.

5/10

In its efforts to be unpredictable, the film instead becomes unbelievable.

Malice is a film that very much wants to be a combination of Body Heat and classic Hitchcock -- but how you take to it will depend on your patience with silly cliches and plot holes large enough to hide dinosaurs.

The best movie quote ever spoken: "You ask me if I have a God complex. Let me tell you something. I am God."

Malice is a well-crafted, semi-intelligently-scripted thriller that is perhaps a bit too slick to be considered film noir, but is nevertheless Hitchcockian in intent. There are quite a few twists and turns in the plot, some of which aren't that difficult to figure out, but a few that are likely to take the viewer unawares. Make no mistake: the intent of this movie is to surprise the audience, and it succeeds fairly well at that. While it's true that in the aftermath of Malice, careful reflection will reveal logical flaws in the script, these aren't as noticeable during the action.

Mesmerizing Mysterious Thriller. Nicole is Nifty, Baldwin is Bad. Pullman is pleasingly politely pretentious.

Good film and thriller with some developed subplots. A little confusing to follow at times but a good general plot with twists & turns.
