Product Description

From Amazon.com

This film, which again pairs Richard Gere and Kim Basinger (who starred in 1986's No Mercy), offers up elements of classic noir: a hapless man becomes intimately involved with a beautiful blonde who may or may not be who or what she appears to be. Dedicated psychiatrist Isaac Barr (Gere) reluctantly, and then more obsessively, becomes involved with Heather Evans (Basinger), the sister of his patient, Diana Baylor (Uma Thurman). Evans is unhappily married to a gangster (appropriately played by a muscular and menacing Eric Roberts in a trademark role). Gere and Basinger make a credible, if dangerous couple, and Thurman delivers a subtle, understated performance and demonstrates her range and potential.

The thriller is appropriately shot in gorgeous San Francisco, where the literal and figurative curving and hilly roads wind throughout. Credit legendary art director Dean Tavoularis for some amazing sets and scenes, notably the elegantly cavernous restaurant where Evans and her husband have a fateful dinner.

This film is, in a way, glossy director Phil Joanou's Hitchcockian tribute--as a climactic lighthouse scene best demonstrates. Final Analysis doesn't offer an intimate look at its characters, but a beautifully stylized one, moody and gloomy. The intricate plot experiments with the device of "pathological intoxication," in which the subject completely loses control after drinking alcohol. And this doesn't mean a conventional ugly drunk; it means a frightening psychotic. Good and evil, hope and despair, beauty and repulsion are often juxtaposed in the film's complex world. --N.F. Mendoza

4.0 out of 5 stars Analysis of Final Analysis, April 18 2011
This review is from: Final Analysis (Full Screen) (DVD)
Considering this movie has 2 of Hollywood's mediocre actors in it, it is a fantastic story line and I never tire of it.
It has a Hitchcock feel to it. It's a great fun movie to watch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Final analysis, April 6 2003
By 
This review is from: Final Analysis (Full Screen) (DVD)
A psychiatrist breaches professional ethics by falling in love and starting a romance with the sister of one of his patients.
The sister of his patient steals the psychiatrist heart by telling him that she's not happily married. Her husband is abusive - gangster kind of guy. Soon she kills her husband and her excuse is: she suffers from Pathological Intoxication.
And if she proves it she'll be safe. Isaac (Gere) believes all she's saying and helps her a lot but soon he discovers that she
was lying all the time and that she's dangerous - but it's too late now for Isaac to bring her to justice as he's already deeply
involved in her crimes.

Great classic thriller

This review is from: Final Analysis (Full Screen) (DVD)
I really enjoyed this movie. Suspense, many twists and turns and I have to say that Kim Basinger was awesome. I also thought Eric Roberts did an incredible job in the short time he appeared in the movie. If you like suspense and some surprises, you will enjoy it.
