Before screenwriter Joe Eszterhas wrote the ridiculous Showgirls, he crafted some entertaining if porous thrillers along the lines of the 1985 Jagged Edge, a taut mystery about an attorney (Glenn Close) who defends a newspaper publisher (Jeff Bridges) accused of murder. The fact that Close's character falls for him is more convenient than plausible, but it is a necessary emotional bridge for Eszterhas and the late director Richard Marquand (Eye of the Needle) to build toward a powerful finale. Scary, fun as courtroom dramas go, the film is well serviced by the two lead stars and has impressive support from costar Peter Coyote and especially from Robert Loggia, who plays Close's cop buddy. --Tom Keogh

Please,someone tell me why this movie is so well liked.......2007-03-29
Even when it came out in the 80's I found myself amazed that so many people loved this movie. If you love it then I'm about to make you mad and I'm sorry.
The plot is very thin(you can see where it's going in the first 10 mins) and so the "thrill" is lost and as for the acting, Peter Coyote and Oscar nominee Robert Loggia steal this movie when they are on screen. Jeff Bridges is always good but has little to do as the accused killer and must sit quietly in court and that leaves Glenn Close to carry the film and while she is a great actress this is far from her best work.
The film making is very sloppy here also as continuity is thrown out the door. Characters pop in and out of the movie with no explanation just to serve the plot and in some scenes Glenn Close's outfit changes walking from the jury box to the Bench. There are even a few times that you can see the boom mike in the shot. Now that is bad for an A-list project like this.
Now if you like it, then you like it and that's OK because I like some stinkers myself, but this one was a real let down to me. The supporting players rate the 2 stars.
The edge has dulled .......2006-03-14
Jagged Edge hasn't aged that well. The courtroom scenes look silly now. Jeff Bridges' character is on trial for the murder of his wife and her maid. We never hear the maid's name, we never see even a brief shot of her relatives. If found not guilty of his wife's murder apparently the court will toss out the maid's case as a freebie. Later Glen Close's character looks up and sees a tired and sad looking black woman sitting in the back of the court and she's dressed like it's 1962. I thought that was particularly lame. The minority characters are just symbols in this movie.
Ignoring the court room scenes for a moment I have to say that Peter Coyote gives a stand out performance. I also liked the old cop played by Robert Loggia. Glen Close is playing a smart woman who does two really dumb things: You don't get romantic with your client and you don't let your emotions concerning a past case ruin your understanding of the case you're working on now.
Nevertheless, Glen falls hard for her client and the scene where she looks in the linen closet and realizes that hot dangit, she's got a sadistic rapist and murderer for a lover is the best in the movie. The final scene is quite good as well. When the glass in Glen's front door is smashed it's gasp and jump in your seat time. Jagged Edge is an okay but not especially memorable movie. Unless you have to have all of Glen Close's movies it's not worth buying.
Most terrifying opening.......2006-01-11
I have to talk about this movie because everytime a Jeff Bridges movie is on TV I'm blown away by how talented the guy is. He can literally play anything and he's so underrated. Although maybe he likes staying that way so that he's not bothered by media and can play what he wants. This movie is in the 80s and has one of the most terrifying opening scenes of all time. No matter how many times I watch it, it bothers me. A killer is in a house he shouldn't be and brutally kills a woman, sadistically teasing her with rape before he does so. You see things from both the killer and victim's perspective and it gets me every time. Bridges has a sure equal in Glenn Close in one of my favorite roles of hers (minus Fatal Attraction.) This movie might be a little bit dated and have some unrealistic sequences but you wont like it any less for them. It definitely keeps you guessing until the end. I know the end and I still keep guessing. If you like Jeff Bridges, you must see this one.
all at once, drama and suspense.......2005-08-21
This is an excellent suspenseful drama that withstands the test of time because it's not at all trendy.
If you want to be entertained, spellbound, and held in suspense right to the very end, SEE THIS MOVIE.
Thrillers don't get much better..........2005-07-08
If you like intelligent thrillers, that are not made for an average audience age of 14, then this is a movie you might want to check out. Jeff Bridges gives a good performance. It's wonderful to see it on DVD..

J.E........2006-07-01
I am a big fan of the group. This is a great selection of videos but quite a disappointment because of too many re-mixes. Jagged Edge's main qualities are smooth ballads such as 'Gotta Be,''What's it like,' and 'Promise' etc. Re-mixes are great to listen to but seem ridiculous on video as the performers' dance routines are always out-of-sync with the beat and lyrics. This collection could have been much better had it also included ballads like 'Without You,''Girl its over' and 'I don't wanna.' Hoping for another unleash soon!!
All the hot videos.......2005-11-28
Jagged Edge still has the potential to be one of the biggest groups in R&B. After four classic albums they released a greatest hits video collection. Like a previous reviewer said it would have been cool to see some live footage and get some slow jam remixes instead of the bass ones.
one of the best DVDs Ive bought.......2005-01-28
When I first heard of Jagged Edge I didn't pay much attention to em. Then a couple years ago I heard the Remarqable Remix of Lets Get Married n fell in love. Found out who sang the song n ordered two cd's to get it. I barely listened to most of Jagged Littel Thrill n found that they sing a lot of songs I like n wanted but couldnt get cuz I didnt know who it was. This DVD is great cuz the videos are ones Ive never seen. I was disappointed the video for the original version of Where The Party At wasn't included n the lack of interviews stinks but overall having 13 videos made up for that. All in all if all you need to be happy is videos this is a good choice.
A cool video collection but no where the party at.......2004-06-10
A must for Jagged Edge fans all the videos are on this DVD except for the original version of Where the party at, instead the powers that be felt the need to put the awful 11-01-01 Dupri remix video instead. Another big disapointment was lack of anything else like interviews or concert footage on the DVD but you can't have it all i guess.
