Sleeping with the Enemy is a thriller made in 1991 by director, Joseph Ruben and stars Julia Roberts, Patrick Begin and Kevin Anderson.... The formula is pretty simple, wife fakes her own death and leaves her abusive husband and changes herSleeping with the Enemy is a thriller made in 1991 by director, Joseph Ruben and stars Julia Roberts, Patrick Begin and Kevin Anderson.... The formula is pretty simple, wife fakes her own death and leaves her abusive husband and changes her identity, name and starts a new life in a small town or community somewhere and meets a drama teacher or something and starts a relationship with him kinda meanwhile whilst enjoying her new life her other husband she's escaped is looking for her... Sleeping with the Enemy maybe not the best Julia Roberts film but it's certainly my favourite film of hers . Julia Roberts has made some good films from Pretty Woman, Flatliners to Erin Brockovich but this film is my favourite. Patrick Bergin gives a great performance as the husband and there are a few dumb parts in Sleeping with the Enemy such as Patrick Bergin finding the wedding ring in the toilet and not noticing it earlier in the movie but I guess nobody is perfect. The ending of the movie could of been better but all in all a great movie. Some bad language and sex scenes and the content of the film in general makes this one for adults only.… Expand

For the start of 2018 I would like to show you list of one of a cycle of thrillers made during the early 1990s which were set around husband and wife characters which I've already reviewed. Deceived which is forgettable, Consenting AdultsFor the start of 2018 I would like to show you list of one of a cycle of thrillers made during the early 1990s which were set around husband and wife characters which I've already reviewed. Deceived which is forgettable, Consenting Adults which I didn't like, Presumed Innocent and Sleeping with the Enemy is the film which I'm going to do. Of course, there are some thrillers that I haven't seen and yes, I have seen some of them which I've already reviewed. Sometimes they're been done to death like the stories the filmmakers had put out is the same story they put out so many times. OK, so Sleeping with the Enemy is the story about Laura Burney escapes his abusive husband and start a new life over. And that's it, that is for the fact that I'm not spoiling the film for people who haven't seen it which is what thrillers for. Some of the scenes are chilling and will keep you on the edge of the seat. I actually love the scene where Laura's new boyfriend who is her next door neighbor singing the jet song and the two couple dancing to "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison. I can also remember watching the music video of it on TV with Julia Roberts in it. For thrillers that are recycled goes, this one is underrated. I guess you guys will be entertained by thrillers that will keep you on the edge of the seat that is if you watch them alone. I know I did.… Expand
