    Final role for Vincent Price

    1992's "The Heart of Justice" was a prestigious TV movie from Turner Network Television, boasting a solid cast of veterans in mostly brief appearances, led in the opening scene by Dennis Hopper and Vincent Price, two longtime friends enjoying a last luncheon together in their exclusive club before Hopper's Austin Blair is unceremoniously shot to death once he leaves. The assassin is Elliot Burgess (Dermot Mulroney), an introverted violinist who has formed an unusually close bond with gorgeous sister Emma (Jennifer Connelly), one that dirtbag Blair seemingly knows about and has revealed all the skeletons in the Burgess family closet in his latest work of gossip fiction. Hot shot reporter David Leader (Eric Stoltz) is given the green light to compose a series of articles designed to leave the other newspapers envious, using his contacts to dig further into the background of the Burgess patriarch (Bradford Dillman), who always wanted his pampered son to follow in his law practice footsteps. Only after making contact with Emma does David receive a number of cassette tapes narrated by the obviously deranged killer, all spelling out the motives behind the murder, drawn out over several weeks in a coldly calculated style. It doesn't really qualify as a mystery since the crime takes place barely two minutes into the picture (even before the credits roll!), and because the protagonist is a self serving jerk deserving of less pity than even the perpetrator, viewers are left with an exercise of style over substance, less and less involving as the picture drags on toward its painfully obvious conclusion. What one is left with are the little character vignettes, in particular the final screen role for 80 year old Vincent Price (shooting in October 1991), whose Reggie Shaw describes himself as 'a charming old fart' who enjoys time spent with old friends, and whose real life relationship with Dennis Hopper makes their sequence stand out; both had first worked together in 1956 on the Irwin Allen production "The Story of Mankind," and had recently reunited for Hopper's directorial outing "Backtrack" aka "Catchfire" (oddly enough, this would also prove the last feature role for Bradford Dillman, spending his final three decades in blissful retirement).

    Murder he wrote

    Meandering tale of a wealthy family embroiled in a murder scandal with hot shot reporter Stoltz becoming enamoured by the sultry, enigmatic daughter (Connelly) in his obsessive pursuit of landing the big scoop to feed his ambitions of fame and fortune.

    Tries for a film noir feel, but doesn't make the grade wasting a whole lot of talent in the process. Most of star-billed Hopper's role is seen in flashbacks, whilst fellow veterans Price and Dillman have only relatively small contributions to a rather muddled mystery. I preferred the Stoltz-Connelly mind games that were maturing, alas they were overtaken midway by Mulroney's bizarre social handicap whose delusional behaviour becomes progressively more paranoid as the climax approaches.

    But despite the potential, the movie is really no more than a feature-length episode of a Murder She Wrote or similar whodunit, with too much telegraphed and consequently, very few surprises to entertain any armchair sleuth who might be hoping for something more mysterious.

    Why all the hate? It's actually good

    Austin Blair (Dennis Hopper) is a successful writer that is shot outside of a restaurant after a meeting with Reggie Shaw (Vincent Price). David Leader (Eric Stoltz) is a hot shot reporter that is assigned of finding the truth and suspects of Elliott Burgess. David will also go to the Burgess family for investigating, only for falling for the gorgeous daughter (Jennifer Connelly) which carries a mystery and he will end in the spiral as well.

    I have to agree that is a bit confusing (like most TV movies of the 1990s) but for the rest is good. Eric Stoltz gives a nice performance as a young journalist that often goes to his mentor (William Macy) and ends involved with gorgeous Jennifer Connelly. I found the soundtrack chilling and added a lot to the thriller atmosphere.

    Don't believe the few reviews here because if you are in the right mood you might like it.

    Where's the justice?

    A writer is murdered out in the open, and the killer then offs himself. The question is what happened? The man he killed wrote something scandalous about his family. The man was ticked off by his latest book. He was so unhinged. His sister was shocked by his behavior. So when he stalked him, he caught the interest in a reporter. So the reporter got closer to his sister.

    It's a interesting movie to watch. With an all-star cast to boot. It's like a puzzle game to solve, but it's also a game of cat and mouse. With the puzzle been solved, but the game of cat and mouse results with the mouse getting away.

    Eric Stoltz, Jennifer Connelly, William H. Macy makes the movie good. It's a shame that it was Vincent Price's last film.

    3 out of 5 stars.

    Poor 90s TV Movie Thriller

    Very much a TV movie with all the hallmarks to prove it. How a project like this got Dennis Hopper, Jennifer Connelly, Vincent Price & William H. Macy to appear in it is most peculiar. Only Connelly has any real screen time but the movie mostly follows Eric Stoltz as quite possibly one of the most annoyingly grating characters ever put to film. How anyone is meant to root for him the way he treats his girlfriend and colleagues makes no sense. A very forgettable 90s tv movie which should probably be left there.
