Cold Heart

I like Hudson Leick as much as the next guy (and probably more than most of the next guys), but even for her, this movie is just not worth watching. It's just plain terrible from start to finish. Sure, Hudson looks great if that's your interest -- not hard for her to look good in any case -- but even fast-forwarding and just watching her scenes, this one is just a real crapper. Even if you really like Hudson, avoid it.

It's good for a few laughs, if you're light-tempered enough to enjoy bad things. And even if you don't laugh, it's still moderately entertaining. And, OH! Don't you just love a twist ending? This one actually surprised me, I wasn't expecting it. But maybe I was too distracted by the anime eyes of our resident psycho (Holloway).

Kinski is rather subdued - maybe sedated - through the picture and Fahey is very grim and serious the whole way through.

But for a "psycho seduces unhappy wife of his shrink and she rejects him and all hell breaks loose" kind of movie, it's not all that bad. Just don't expect anything Oscar worthy.

For all the negative comments, it looks like if you follow Nastassja Kinski nobody likes the movie, but I had never heard of any of these actors and just caught the movie on cinemax. Its not another skin flick, you have to watch the movie to realize the topic is completly adult to begin with, and the sex scenes are very necessary to portrait what the director wants us to see.

The movie I think is very well done, the psychotic patient that gets released and ends up with his doctors wife, only to cause a mess of problems. The patient is brilliant, he will let his girl do whatever she wants, in exchange for his full attention as well (something close =b). As soon she changes her mind, it gets messy. He also has some psycic sensitivity as you watch the film. The interactions between the psychiatrists husband and wife is believable for somebody who is blinded by emotion, and the husband knows how to play on it (or avoid it) just like little kids avoid situations.

This movie has so many brilliant mini aspects of it, I dont understand how its getting a 4.0/10.0, it is deserving of much more. If you watch the movie for the thrill of a movie I would hate it too, you have to watch it to get into the characters head to appreciate this movie, or else most of the plot basis is gone, leaving an empty movie with some funky things happening.

Its low budget VHS or early CD style quality movie. with some decent performance for that budget movie. The movie also has very surprise ending. which is kinda nice.

The movie plot is not that new, its same married wife with passionless marriage. and then hookup with someone , which goes wrong later. and also estranged rich husband. there are many movies like that in 90s era , with more erotic style.

this movie lacks sex scenes or nude sense. but anyhow its ok.. the movie is exciting and very good in the end too,.

I have to confess that when I started watching this movie, I didn't really expect much: both the script and the actors seemed not to be very inviting. In the end I had to change my mind: both Nastassja Kinski and Josh Holloway are pretty convincing, and the plot isn't so ordinary, despite the fact that the starting point is the usual sexual relationship with a psycho-depressed-hyper-aroused hunk. A nice thriller, with good music and interesting directing choices. There could be much worse films than this one.
