Best movie ever!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Christopher Crowe was a director who really intrigued me, where I loved Saigon, with all that original great dialogue, if only with all that self consciousness that hampered it. Amazingly here, this psychological thriller, is constructed all the same way with those red herrings, and the guy suiciding, case closed, killer dead, two thirds of the way through. Only again, annoyingly it bites us in the ass, where our jumper wasn't the killer. Quite annoyingly here, I'm saying for those who have seen Saigon. Like that one, I really find this one entertaining as f..k too. WITD which missed a cinema run, is only heightened by it's really good and surprising performances, though Hawkeye's Alda was obviously miscast, flat, where Paglia is fun as a dubious and nosey detective, with a lot of issues. Sciorra (Internal Affairs) is really good as a New York psychiatrist, plagued by this recurring dream previewed throughout the balsy sexy opening, played against a beautiful mellow romantic score, where two nude figures, who remain faceless, are fornicating. She entrusts old family friend/psychiatrist, Leo (the plain banal Alda) who has more on his mind than psychiatry, while also getting off on a beautiful female patient's story, where later, this poor girl becomes the murder victim. By this time, Sciorra has become a prime murder suspect, as having, taken up an affair with the victim's ex, an avid pilot (Jamie Sheridan) a real likable performance. Not only that, the late victim, had stolen some of her files which makes for some juicy reading. Another big suspect is one of her patients (Leguizamo) as a troubled artist, with a known history for sexually abusing and battering woman, where we see first hand, some frank photos. This is the sleaze element of the film, but it doesn't mar that at all, as it's down in style. I don't know why, but I really find this film an entertaining watch, as a viewing it several times. As for violence inferred, apart from the sexual, there's hardly any blood letting, some shown in lesser or no detail, like in long shots. A guilty fun moment is the end, and leading up to that where the sick f..k killer, who I never picked in my first viewing, reveals himself. I always thought it was stupid though to leave those incriminating out in the open and not locked up. There's a lot of interesting and different touches as to characters, occupations, and their troubles. Deborah Kara Unger is hot too, in her sexy confronting disrobe, while great character actor Anthony 'Doctor Chilton' appears in a limited number of scenes, as Sciorra's old self centered, if pathetic, boyfriend. WITD is a 'with' it 90's sexual psychological thriller drama, with style. It has an interesting script, and obviously deserves much more credit than it's given, as well as being a respected thriller/drama.

This is a tacky, low-grade mystery film that is far better acted than most of its kind. It's about a lady psychiatrist with some really messed-up patients who gets caught up in a murder mystery when one patient becomes a suspect. Nearly all of the characters in this story are serious head cases. One hopes no major city has a preponderance of people like that. A lot of twists and turns occur in the story. A few of them are compelling, most of them improbable. Some genuinely talented actors were rounded up to appear in this film. Largely as a result, the film is watchable, but it's just as miss-able. Only die hard fans of murder mysteries will enjoy this film.

There is very little I can add to many of these reviews, criticisms all valid, cheese factor noted and agreed with by this IMDb user. The only thing I will say about this thriller from my past is that 1) I really liked Alan Alda in this and 2)I think this movie reaches on over into the "maybe for the camp value" genre. I read another user's reference to Final analysis which came out around the same time-I actually really dug that one, I rate analysis about an 8.5. I can note similarities in the plot but their basically 2 different movies. Analysis is more eerie, this is campy at times(many times) and very tawdry-I do recall wanting to see it when it first came out and being a bit let down when I did-Was this a book too? I seem to dimly recall that it was, but could be wrong,I'll have to look that up. But this isn't really that much different then a lot of lifetime movies and even some thrillers that have been out this last year and done decent.If you go into this knowing it's pure camp and there's no reality whatsoever to it and there's' a lot of twists that can only happen BECAUSE it's a movie, you might enjoy it. I will admit I didn't guess the end "twist" which all of the watchers of this movie except for I seemed to have known before or shortly after, the movie started, so that's a bit alarming but hey I did guess the twists in other more popular movies so that's a good thing. Basically, this is entertainment and not memorable entertainment either. I wouldn't put it in the IMDb worst movie list but all individuals' negative comments can be understood. Still think Alda was a standout in this though. 4 or 5 out of 10 from me but way higher for Alda.

Entertaining story. But hopefully it's not indicative of the world of psychiatry. Some real on-the-edge folks here. Even the police lieutenant is a ripe candidate for analysis - though to judge from the film you wonder if analysis accomplishes anything useful.For the most part good acting work put in by a first rate cast. Leave the analyzing to the movie and enjoy the ride.
