Double Exposure (1993)

Director: Claudia Hoover.

Starring: Ian Buchanan (Roger), Jennifer Gatti (Maria), Ron Perlman (John), Dedee Pfeiffer (Linda).

A jealously possessive husband (Buchanan) finds that his "girl in cotton wool" wife (Gatti) is having an affair. He has a contract put out on the mystery boyfriend but the hit is botched and his wife is killed instead. Now he wants both the mystery boyfriend and the hit man dead…but who the "mystery boyfriend" and "hit man" turn out to be....

This film is TV movie quality with a nice twist at the end (50-50 chance you'll guess it). Has some semi graphic sex scenes (stop drooling he's not involved) and a short non-nudity rape sequence (he's not involved).

Ron Perlman has a supporting role (but top billing!) as a private investigator with secrets both past and present and he imbues his character with a nice mix of regret and ruthlessness.

Favorite line(s): spoken by the husband to his and his wife's friend: "You would tell me if she were having an affair, wouldn't you?" her reply: "Would I tell her if you were having an affair?"

Availability: VHS. Suggest: Amazon.com. I have been buying from Amazon for years, both new and used items, and have had no problems. Please make sure to check that the VHS is compatible with your country/region.

Worth a rent/buy used (for about the same price as a rent) if you must have it for your RP collection.
