Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Rebecca De Mornay is so beautiful in Guilty as Sin. She's got beautiful blonde hair and bright blue eyes and a killer body. I love her. Guilty as Sin is a true testimony to Miss De Mornay and her beauty, with a Don Johnson. Talky, talky, talky, when is sweet Rebecca going to show me her personal dockets so I can cross-examine her? I love this even though it's kind of boring. It has its redeeming moments. An exhilarating De Mornay exhibit, indeed!

This film often on The Movie Channel was made in the early 90's when there was a lack of new suspense films...audiences were ready for something more. Also at this time was when "Silence of the Lambs" came out, and for that time was groundbreaking.So for what this is, it is a good TV film. DeMornay as ambitious criminal attorney (she was very good in "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle") wonder what she is filming these days.Anyway, Don Johnson as ladies man who is accused of killing his wife. There is a cameo with Jack Warden (excellenet veteran actor who was also in Lumet's "And Justice for All" and "The Verdict" with Paul Newman an excellent courtroom drama).Overall we have seen the story before, Johnson as conceited narcissist taunting his attorney...there is a twist at the end. There are several familiar scenes which Hitchcock aficionados will pick up on, including the "North by Northwest" cliffhanger ending. It's been done before, but worth watching for a few decent performances. 8/10.

Don Johnson is...guilty of sin. Some people have already been offended by my critique of "Guilty as Sin"(1993) and a few others might disagree, with my take on big daddy Don as an over privileged man(murderer). But millions will agree, due to the lack of big ticket sales. The funny part is, that I really have enjoyed many of his performances. This is not as if I'm just looking to sort of stall out on a movie he did because I don't like him. Stephen Lang, is in the cast as well and he really is one heck of a versatile character actor, Sydney (the Director) should have switched the two actors roles....Johnson's David Greenhill, was a smart-Alec twerp of a womanizer. Sitting at that bar telling that woman she could pay for his drink and that "Women take care of me." was one of the most ridiculously delivered lines I have heard. He, for me didn't come off as a suave lady killer, he came across as a man that you would like to take out to an alleyway and beat the socks off of em'. It was quite a spectacle the way that David dressed in black and a stocking cap and met the lawyer in the parking garage and beat him and his car phone to bits! That was a solid action / drama piece in the story that segue-way-ed nicely into the next place...Don has been in quite a few really 'great' roles, in which he was the only one that you could see there. It would be a crime to put in a different actor, they never would have filled his shoes. But, not here. On the out, the ending in this was 'pure' Hollywood in bad scripted form. Falling off the ledge on top of him, as she makes it out, alive and he dies. Sure. That's just one of the reasons (of many) why I gave this a 5/10 .

"Guilty as sin" is the one movie that show what an etraordinary good actor Don Johnson really is. He plays a very complicated role that would be very difficult for most of the hollywoodcrew. But he does it trustworthy and real. I ca believe in his character in spite of its fragmented personality. Great thanks to Sidney Lumet who let Don Johnson show what a great actor he really is. Unfortunately I'm afraid i will never see such acting again from Don because he ain't recognized as great actor but more as an actionsoapoperaactor. Furthermore the casting on "Guilty as Sin" is remarkably good. All good actors who knows their job.
