This review is from: Getting Away With Murder (DVD)

I think there's two kinds of good movies. The kind that keep you interested and entertained while you're watching, but don't provoke much afterthought, and the kind that can be trying to the patience while you're watching, but leave more of an impression. Film buffs are generally only interested in the latter. This film is the former, and as someone with a short attention span who isn't looking at films as something that should change one's life, I found this film to be a very satisfying viewing experience.

At worst it's an engaging story you can sit through without having to endure any boring parts, at best an intellectually stimulating look at the internal ethical dialogue a man explores when faced with a difficult situation, and the places his choices lead him.

4.0 out of 5 stars i liked it even if no one else did, April 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Getting Away With Murder [VHS] (VHS Tape)

this movie is like a rear window comedy/drama/mystery if that is at all possible. Aykroyd really acted well in this along w/ the rest of the all star cast, lemon and tomlin. It is not the greatest movie on earth but one, in my opnion that is worth viewing. A lot of people didn't like this movie, I still found it entertaining and intriging but i guess it just isn't for every one. The mystery is top notch though, i really didn't c the end comming.

This review is from: Getting Away With Murder [VHS] (VHS Tape)

this movie is well controlled and not aimed for a simple fun.
the storyline is interresting and satirizes a moralism in certain circumstances. this movie can be excellent if you possiblely don't have any preconception or image about the famous actors.
