Tom Huddleston Time Out 03/04/2019
A melodramatic thriller which did surprisingly well in the US given its implausible straight-to-video scenario. Undistinguished. Go to Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone 03/04/2019
It's got suspense but no staying power. Go to Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly 03/04/2019
C-
The only thing that makes this ludicrous botch even borderline watchable is Alec Baldwin's enjoyably supercilious performance as a leering stud surgeon who thinks nothing of belting back shots of bourbon before going in to perform an operation.

5/10
In its efforts to be unpredictable, the film instead becomes unbelievable. Go to Full Review Chris Hicks Deseret News (Salt Lake City) 03/04/2019
Malice is a film that very much wants to be a combination of Body Heat and classic Hitchcock -- but how you take to it will depend on your patience with silly cliches and plot holes large enough to hide dinosaurs. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Joy B. @9mr_0 Dec 28 فلم جميل و القصة رائعة التوستات الي بالقصة جميله للوهلة الاولى تعتقد ان فلم عادي لكن كلما تتقدم الاحداث تنصدم بشيء الاخراج رائع و اداء جميل من الطاقم See more Black Snake P Oct 20 I've been looking for this little gem for sometime. This truly is slow simmering, twist and turn film making. I remember when I first watched as a young man looking to get into screen writing, this inspired me. And Baldwin and his 'God-complex' diatribe.......pure Hollywood gold. It's predictable in some places, hey, they even threw in a serial killer for atmosphere, but this is a wonderful film. See more D P Sep 13 Lately, I've been giving a movie good marks simply for not putting me to sleep. Seems to be a lost skill in Hollywood. See more nick s @Nick_S Sep 9 The writing seemed to be all over the place, as if the authors weren't sure what sort of movie they were making. It wasn't a terrible production but I didn't find myself drawn into it because of that. Dropped out halfway through. From reading other reviews it doesn't sound like it got any better. See more Melissa L @Agent99 Aug 31 I can't believe that this movie was rated so low. I think this was an excellent thriller with a just ending. See more Kate B Jul 10 I don't really understand all the negative reviews, as I like this movie very much and watch it every few years. The plot twists are great and so are the performances. My guess is people find the set up implausible but I tend to overlook that because of the malevolence and evil that Kidman and Baldwin display is so chilling. Loved Bebe Neuwirth and Anne Bancroft's supporting roles See more Read all reviews
