Jagged Edge

1985 108 min R Thriller

When a murder case is this shocking, which do you trust? Your emotions or your evidence?

The Pacific in autumn, salt on the lawyer’s collar from the courtroom steps. A golden widow’s gold digger husband weaves silk ties through his fingers in a glass booth while a disbarred attorney sharpens pencils like knives. The air tastes of iodine and lies. A trial by sunlight striped through venetian blinds. She quotes case law in silk scarves; he counts the seconds before the subpoena drops. Like a John Grisham fever dream directed by Polanski’s paranoid cousin.

Directed by Richard Marquand · Written by Joe Eszterhas

Starring Glenn Close, Jeff Bridges, Peter Coyote, Lance Henriksen, Robert Loggia, Michael Dorn
