Synopsis

It's a romantic triangle with a lot of heat when a psychologist (JoBeth Williams) falls in love with a widowed professor (Pierce Brosnan) who's having an affair with one of her patients (Virginia Madsen). Williams turns a dangerous page when she uncovers that Brosnan is not only the root of Madsen's emotional turmoil, he also murdered his wife in order to be with Madsen. Better up that day rate.

gridoon I saw "Victim of Love" under the more provocative title "Raw Heat". The original title may be bland, but it's also more accurate, as the director of this erotic thriller goes out of his way not to show "too much" flesh in the erotic scenes. On the other hand, the film is directed with an unusual sensitivity towards the female characters, and it will probably appeal more to women. The "did-he-or-didn't-he?" story does keep you guessing to the last minute (and beyond!), and most of the credit for that has to go to the skill of the actors: Pierce Brosnan as the mysterious, seductive, possibly murderous professor, Jobeth Wiliams as the "mature" but still very attractive psychiatrist who's longing for love, and Virginia Madsen as her fragile, possibly psychotic patient. They all match their roles perfectly. (**1/2)
blanche-2 A few years after his success as Remington Steele, Pierce Brosnan made this film with Jobeth Williams and Virginia Madsen. Though highly derivative, it makes for very intriguing viewing.Williams is a psychiatrist with a few personal problems of her own. She meets Brosnan and, like any red-blooded, healthy woman, falls for him. He's a professor and author, and how every female student he has isn't running after him is unclear. Madsen plays a patient of Williams', and she has even more issues than Williams has. One of them concerns this man she's involved with...whom Williams finally realizes is Brosnan. The question is, is this young woman delusional? Is she fabricating a relationship as Brosnan claims, or is Brosnan the liar? Williams approaches the dilemma as a woman in love and not a psychiatrist, making her your pretty typical desperate female. One would hope a professional person would behave a bit differently, but life experience shows us this isn't necessarily the case.I found this film very entertaining with some hot, sexy love scenes, and it keeps you guessing. After you think you've figured it out, it'll have a surprise for you.
Keno27 This movie was really bad. Anyone who voted a 10 one this one either owns stock in the movie, or has a severe head injury. It was so slow and plodding I could barely sit through it. The acting is even bad, it's hard to break this film down into what works and what doesn't because all of it doesn't work! Brosnan plays a creepy character and I guess there could be a surprise or two, but the movie plods so badly that it is hindered by it.Hitchcock is nowhere to be found. The best non-Hitchcock film is Charade. Check it out, but forget this one. I paid $5.50 for it on DVD and I feel like I've been robbed!
MissCarole I LOVE this movie!--enough to purchase the video. I've seen Vertigo, Psycho & North By Northwest many times, & I fail to see any stealing of scenes or plagiarism. I do agree with the Hitchcockian nature of it, as there are many suspenseful plot twists & turns, & the end is definitely like some of Hitchcock's endings -- you're not quite sure what to think or who to believe. JoBeth Williams & Virginia Madsen are terrific [as they both usually are]--convincing & believable. If you like modern- day film noir, as I do, this movie is for you.
