Credits

Rated: R; Genres: Drama, Suspense; With: Halle Berry and Peter Greene

It's hard to imagine what Amy Holden Jones was thinking when she wrote and directed this utterly implausible thriller. Halle Berry plays a housewife who gets friendly with a handsome psychopath (Peter Greene), who then volunteers his homicidal services to break up her loveless marriage to a millionaire (Christopher McDonald). On video, the resulting contrivances don't begin to add up to a decent erotic thriller. The only grace note is the cadaverous yet handsome Greene, who's becoming a sort of modern Peter Cushing thanks to credits like Pulp Fiction (he was a uniformed psycho) and The Usual Suspects (he played a fence). He ought to shun studio-financed bores like The Rich Man's Wife and get back to his indie roots. D
