3.0 out of 5 stars Mediocre film with a good Belushi performance, June 13, 2000

By A Customer

SEPARATE LIVES is the story of an ex-cop turned psychology student (JAMES BELUSHI) and his professor (LINDA HAMILTON) who asks him to follow her for a few days because she's been blacking out and waking up in strange situations. He discovers that she's living a double life, and that she is involved in a recent murder case as well as a 20-year old murder case.

Hamilton delivers a solid performance, easily slipping from one personality to another. Belushi, however, is the real impetus behind the film. This is the first film I've seen him carry, and he does it deftly.

The story is mostly predictable with a few clunky twists and turns, but it ends satisfyingly. Having viewed a lot of "thrillers" in the past few years, I can say that this one is in the top half of those. Belushi's performance is what makes the film worth watching -- he gives a great performance in an otherwise mediocre film.
