Indiscreet (1998)

Best movie ever!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Blistering performances.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

As a veteran in watching thrillers I didn't expect much from this. To my surprise the film was absolutely a very positive surprise ! The plot, the actors, the music all caught my attention in short time. I would recommend this movie as highly as most "classics" with plots like this. I watched it at the channel "Showtime" and I am surprised about the high quality of the films this channel provides. The fact that the actors are unknown to me has no influence in my rating. As a matter of fact I think the actors are doing such a good performance, that I think it's just an advantage that the more famous actors doesn't appear.I recommend this film and have given it the vote 9 of 10.Øistein Ott, Oslo, NORWAY.

Just caught INDISCREET on LIFETIME, which was the perfect place for it. This made-for-cable antique has Luke Perry, P.I., tailing a woman (Glora Reuben of ER) thought to be cheating on her rich hubby. Pretty soon, she is in Perry's arms and the husband is dead, Reuben claiming to have accidentally shot him. Perry covers up for her, but it becomes quickly evident he is being played. He is the classic patsy, the fall guy. A $75 million life insurance policy is the tipoff. Question is, will Perry end up in jail? Well acted, but just another "B" quickie. Reuben gets naked on a beach. She's no Rae Dawn Chong, but in her own way she is sexy. Peter Coyote is on board as a suspicious cop.

For the first half of this movie, I was frankly rather bored. But this almost predictable whodunit suddenly takes a life of its own and brings in a series of twists to taunt you to stay towards to the end. Luke Perry is so-so as an ex-cop turned private eye hired by a suspicious millionaire to trail his wife, played enticingly by Gloria Reuben. Perry falls for the millionaire's wife and a subsequent murder throws the movie into higher gear. Average, pacy and watchable. It's a pity that Perry (no pun intended) can't seem to raise his career and has to end up in B-grade TV movies like this.

Maybe I'm missing something, but this movie was great! I've seen 100's of thrillers, but the acting, music, filming, etc. were fantastic! Very entertaining - highly recommended.
