This is a steamy film with a well-written script about dull, Florida lawyer Ned Racine (William Hurt) who has a relationship with an intriguing woman Matty (Kathleen Turner) who he first sees at an outdoor concert. Later, Matty invites Ned into her home and manipulates him into killing her older husband, Edmund (Richard Crenna). Matty uses Ned because she believes that his legal expertise will ensure not getting caught. But, unplanned events turn the "easy" killing into something else, and Matty and Ned become prime suspects. A real sizzler by Lawrence Kasdan.

A young U.S. Navy attorney, Ltjg. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise), has virtually no courtroom experience, but he is about to learn that there is more to the legal system than plea-bargaining when he is assigned a murder case at the Marine Corps base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. LCdr. JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore) is assigned as co-counsel, and she urges Kaffee to look at the law as an exciting field in which to discover truth. Kaffee's case involves two Marines–Pfc. Downey (James Marshall) and Cpl. Dawson (Wolfgang Bodison)–who are accused of murdering a fellow Marine. Kaffee follows Galloway's instructions to look for the truth, and, under questioning, Downey and Dawson reveal that the murder was ordered by Lt. Kendrick (Kiefer Sutherland). Kendrick's senior officer Col. Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson) denies any knowledge of Kendrick issuing the order and wants the investigation stopped. Now, Kaffee is determined to find the proof behind the allegations even if it means going head-to-head with tough Col. Jessup. The film received four Academy Award nominations including Best Supporting Actor (Jack Nicholson) and Best Picture.

Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins 1985   PG-13, 121 min.
Genre: Action
Director: Guy Hamilton
Cast: Fred Ward, Joel Grey, Wilford Brimley, George Coe, Kate Mulgrew, J.A. Preston, Charles Cioffi, Michael Pataki, Jon Polito, Cosie Costa
The major problem with this flick is that the story never really gets started. One saving grace is Joel Grey as an Asian martial arts expert, but even Joel Grey fans will have trouble enjoying this film too much. By the way, Fred Ward is a NYC cop who gets involved with a group to avenge all that they think is wrong with the world. 1 User Review
