Malice

What do you get, when you combine a medical malpractice drama, a husband/wife thriller, and a serial rapist murder mystery film? You get Malice! One of writer Aaron Sorkin's most bizarrely plotted films, but holy crap, does it have some great dialogue.

Listen in as Mike Field and Mike Butler discuss this film starring Alec Baldwin, Bill Pullman, and Nicole Kidman. Both Mikes agree that Baldwin's role as a cocky surgeon is his most Alec Baldwin role, and he gets to deliver one of the greatest monologues in 90's cinema in this film. The Mikes, however, don't understand why the plot is so convoluted. The serial rapist murder plot is a subplot that serves absolutely no purpose in this film, and the main con that drives the second half the film is so contrived and silly that the only thing that saves this film is the good acting and great dialogue. But those two things alone make this a film worth going back to.

So, grab your popcorn and soda, please notice the exits to the left and right of you and settle down for Forgotten Cinema.
