Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: Movie critic Roger Ebert made this amusing observation about Malice: "This is the only movie I can recall in which an entire subplot about a serial killer is thrown in simply for atmosphere." He's referring to the fact that this hokey but highly charged thriller is so packed with plot twists and red herrings that you'll soon find yourself so confused that you just have to sit back and hope that it will all make sense by the time the credits roll. It never does make much sense, but the movie at least has the look, feel, and twisted momentum of a really good thriller, and the talent on both sides of the camera is pretty impressive. Alec Baldwin plays a hot-shot surgeon who meets up with an old med-school buddy (Bill Pullman), whose wife (Nicole Kidman) has no objections when Baldwin moves into the upstairs room of their New England Victorian home. The situation's ripe for intrigue, suspicion, temptation, emergency surgery, legal proceedings, and just about anything else you'd find in a movie that desperately struggles to out-Hitchcock Hitchcock. Talk about McGuffins--this movie's chock full of 'em! When the plot thickens to the consistency and clarity of quicksand, you can still enjoy the darkly stylish work of master cinematographer Gordon Willis--or you can check out director Harold Becker's more coherent thriller Sea of Love. With Kidman and Baldwin working up a steamy lather, this one's just fun enough to be an agreeable waste of time. --Jeff Shannon
Description: What happens when you open your home to someone who's gutsier than you, more devious than you and crafty enough to steal your life right out from under you? Plenty of Malice. Starring Alec Baldwin, Nicole Kidman and Bill Pullman and boasting an excellent supporting cast (The New York Times) that includes OscarÂ(r) winners* Gwyneth Paltrow and Anne Bancroft, this bold, riveting thriller is deviously entertaining (The New York Times). Easy-going college dean Andy Safian's (Pullman) quiet New England world has just been terribly disrupted. Two coeds have been raped, a third has been killed and the police are beginning to suspect him! At home, bills are pilingup, his wife (Kidman) is developing severe stomach cramps and the new tenanta devilishly handsome surgeon (Baldwin)is regularly entertaining nurses late into the night. Little does Andy know that all of these events are related and that he's about to be blindsided by something more daring and deadly than anything he could have ever imagined! *Paltrow: Actress, Shakespeare in Love (1998); Bancroft: Actress, The Miracle Worker (1962)

This movie provides an excellent depiction of three different types of violent psychopaths: 1) The gruesome serial killer; 2) The highly intelligent, seductive, handsome, controlling, major-league professional; 3) The beautiful, manipulative,seductive, perverse, clueless, self-destructive role-player. All is portrayed to pefection!

First time I saw this movie, I was with a male roommate; we were so scared, we vowed to never marry. After I made the mistake of marrying such a one, I used the movie to break the news to my mother and brother. When the movie ended I told them that Nicole Kidman was my wife. But enough of that. Alec Baldwin's rant about his having a god complex is quite possibly one of the best scenes in cinematic history. Great contrast between someone with a god complex and the One who had The God Complex ... Read More

I remember when this movie came out it got panned pretty good. I actually think I watched Siskel and Ebert do their original review with mixed reactions. And that's understandable. This movie can be confusing. I understand it more with each viewing. Some may say they pack too much in this movie for it to be comprehensible. That too isn't unfair. But this movie falls into the "the more you watch it" category- you definitely realize more with each viewing. That's not how a movie should be I realize. ... Read More

Tracy and Andy Safian (Nicole Kidman, Bill Pullman) are a young couple just starting out in life. He's an associate dean at the college and she's a teacher, and their big, old house needs repairs. To make ends meet, they rent out the upstairs room to an old high school classmate of Andy's, Dr. Jed Hill (Alec Baldwin). Tracy thinks he's impossibly arrogant but Andy likes him. One day, Tracy is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening pains, and Jed is the surgeon on call. His actions will destroy ... Read More

A great movie line that should go down in the history books. Alec Baldwin and Nicole Kidman shined in this ninies thriller and it still holds up pretty well. The plot does have a lot coindicences, but the performances are what make this film. The last twist with the kid may have been too much. Being a next door neighbor, I believe Kidman's character would have known about the handicap. Recommended.
