Sleeping with the Enemy | Year: 1991 Classification: Drama Directed: - Joseph Ruben Actors/Actresses: - Julia Roberts - Patrick Bergin - Julia Roberts Became Famous For Her Role In Pretty Woman You won't have any nails left...just kidding. This is one of Julia's best movies. The acting is wonderful, the suspense keeps you glued to your seat. I wish they would make more movies that had "real suspense" instead of just horror. I like the mind game aspect. Julia plays the part of a submissive wife (Laura) married to someone who is obsessive compulsive. The towels have to be just so on the towel rack and if not, she gets in trouble. Dinner must be served on time, etc. These elements play out later in the movie and make it just terrifying. When she fakes her death just to escape, we think she is finally rid of him. The problem is, she leaves too many clues. Her husband, Martin, is every woman's worst nightmare. He is handsome, yet within him lurks an evil soul who just wants to control Laura. If you like a suspense without all the horror, this is a movie I can recommend. The house in this movie is so beautiful. Aparently from what I read, it was constructed in about nine weeks. That alone is amazing! Could someone build me one? Just kidding, but the windows are so wonderful. If I lived by the sea, that is the house I would want. The second house Laura lives in is also wonderful with a porch swing. You might dream of living in either, but with a nice husband! Julia is one of the best actresses. I was completely impressed with her performance in this movie. I am watching all her movies one after the other and have a few more to watch. This is perhaps my second favorite after Pretty Woman. She could act in any movie...I am pretty convinced of that! Full of Suspense!!! "Sleeping With the Enemy" is probably my favorite of Julia Roberts' movies. This film has so much suspense that you immediately get wrapped up in the lives of all of the characters. The story centers around a woman who is in a marriage from hell. Her husband abuses her and keeps her confined in a large beach house. His possession of her mind, body, and spirit is terrifying. She finally gets enough courage to get away from him and leave him once and for all. However, she has to fake her death to do so. She flees and starts over in a small town where her blind mother resides. All is well until her husband discovers that she's not really dead and hunts her down to reclaim her. This is an excellent nail-biter that will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat! I highly recommend this film! One major blooper... Unless she knew that her husband was going to force her to go on a boat or that she set up something with the guy who owned the boat why would she be taking swimming lessons? I liked the movie, glad I rented it - but wouldn't own it. Buy Sleeping With The Enemy at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
