lucyfur-19933 Thanks to a couple of IMDb reviewers I checked out "The Operation" with Lisa Hartman who is in my opinion a hotter or a sexier actress than Nicole Kidman the story actually made sense. I appreciate originality in movies for good or for bad. I enjoy movies with twists but Malice is a total rip off of the old TV movie with a ridiculous "twist" added in the end but unfortunately it's still a rip off. When L A Takedown was remade and turned into Heat it was all the same writer same director it was ok although more money couldn't help the story get any better. Aaron Sorkin, you're pathetic.

mikedemster This underrated movie remains on my top 100 list of all time. It may seem an unlikely candidate if you judge it by the cover. My list includes the Terminator, the Matrix, Shawshank Redemption, The Princess Bride, The edge of Tomorrow, My Cousin Vinny. So there's a mix of broad appeal and some that are less known. This movie, while less know, should appeal to anyone interested at all in suspense and intrigue.The scene with Anne Bancroft and Bill Pullman still gives me an adrenaline rush when I think about it. I think it is one of the best scenes in all of movie-dom. It's nearly worth the whole movie, just to get the context of that scene so you can get the full weight of what is happening there. Not to mention a lifetime of acting experience from Anne Bancroft all poured into about 5 minutes of acting that will punch you in the face and make you ask for more :)

flitz35 Very rare in a movie can a character be so likable like Dr. Jed then be hated. First seen your watching a brilliant doctor save a life in surgery. Then make friends with his victim. First time I watched this movie I was blown away how the writer plays with your emotions by turning like to hate. I would of fell for it if I was that character.Alex wasn't the only one that turned like into hate. Nicole Kidman was amazing at being a loving wife and even more amazing being a murderous greedy wench. This is a story I will never forget.Very rarely can a movie make you want more and more without letting you stop watching. Hopefully one day there is a remake of this overseen brilliant story. I just hope the casting is as good

namashi_1 Harold Becker Directed 'Malice' is A Superbly Acted Film! The Performances make this otherwise routine thriller, a must see!'Malice' Synopsis: A tale about a happily married couple who would like to have children. Tracy teaches infants, Andy's a college professor. Things are never the same after she is taken to hospital and operated upon by Jed, a "know all" doctor.'Malice' demanded a better Screenplay. No, the narrative isn't bad at all, its certainly watchable & potentially packaged, but there are some flaws. The pace could've been faster. The suspense wasn't as shocking as expected. Yet in all fairness, the Screenplay does indulge the viewer. Harold Becker's Direction is atmospheric.The Performances in 'Malice' are its True Merits. Alec Baldwin is outstanding as the manipulative doctor. Nicole Kidman is electrifying in a nicely written part. Bill Pullman is terrific as the central protagonist. These 3 Performances are truly compelling!On the whole, Watch 'Malice' for the performances!
