Sophisticated Thriller

Rating: Null/10 (23 July 2004)

This is not a film for those who enjoyed most modern horror films.
It has no blood, and little on-screen violence. However, it is thrilling, emotional and complicated. Grace Kelly is in one of her few non ice-covered roles as a fashion editor who is not, in fact, a snob or priss. James Stewart is wonderful, as usual, as a temporarily bed-confined photographer. The basic plot line is another murder mystery, but a unique one. It is wall-papered with realistic characters, and the flavor of urban life. It is scary in the ways that bloody battles never are: thrilling and emotional.
