Eh....
This review refers to "Final Analysis"(VHS)Let me start by saying I am a huge fan of the three main stars of this film. When you see a movie starring Richard Gere, Kim Basinger, and Uma Thurman, you just expect something great."Final Analysis" is a thriller about double crosses and triple crosses. And I'm not sure but there may have been a quadruple cross going on as well. Kim Basinger departs from her usual style and plays a very bad girl in this one. She is married to a dangerous man, played by Eric Roberts, who's short performance was one of the highlights of this film. Richard Gere is a psychiatrist, treating her sister, and falls for the married Basinger. As one of Gere's buddies puts it to him, regarding her husband.."It's like teasing King Kong"..and so the fun begins. Is Basinger a victim of her own psychological problems, or is she a killer with a great plan? Is Uma part of the diabolical plan too? Can Gere handle these two sisters who are both just about half a bubble off the plumb?A decent thriller, with a great cast that helped keep me involved in this hard to swallow story. One that you'll probably figure out about 1/2 way through. A good rental, but not one that is crying out for a repeat view. A good excuse for some popcorn though.For a really good look at how Gere and Basinger can heat up the screen together, check out "No Mercy".Worth checking out - available on DVD:Final Analysis
