2.0 out of 5 stars Judas Kiss (1998), 26 Jan 2003
I would not call this movie a success but nor would i call it a failure. It is a crime movie and based in New Orleans. For some reason the kidnappers' hideout is an abandoned church where all the vestments, candles, and similar religious items have been left behind. Even when the kidnapping of a billionaire and the murder of a senator's wife would be considered a very high-profile case, only two law-enforcement officers (and a couple of men doing electronic surveillance) appear to be working on the case. To further baffle the viewer, some of the camera angles and the editing add to the confusion.
Alan Rickman plays David Friedman, an alcoholic police detective who is unexpectedly assigned to the murder case The detective that supposedly would have been assigned (and who is now married to Friedman's ex-wife) has a broken leg. Emma Thompson plays Sadie Hawkins, the only FBI agent assigned to the kidnapping investigation. Mr. Rickman does a good job playing a man who's seen better days - and who didn't like what he saw. At least he was allowed to present his character in a straightforward way, and his character gets to solve the case. His police detective is a new character, different from any I've seen him play so far.
However, as big Alan Rickman fan, i would say that this is a dissapointment but in saying this i will most likely continue to watch it as i believe that Alan's performance is worth the watch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quirky & Cool, 13 Feb 2002
This review is from: Judas Kiss [VHS] [1998] (VHS Tape)
I've been looking out for this thriller after seeing it on TV one night. It's probably just a three star film but it is elevated by a good script, efficient direction and the rather excellent Carla Gugino. The performances are all fine from a surprising ensemble cast (how did Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson get involved?) and it all moves along at a good pace. Nothing to re-write the genre but definately worth a look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Underrated gem of a thriller, 7 Mar 2005
By K. Tomkowski "krzys" (Poland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This one surprised me a lot. In a good sense. The script is refreshingly good and smart, direction energetic, actors really good too. Including the always gorgeous Carla Gugino. This one, like "A better way to die", belongs to the undeservedly underappreciated, forgotten thrillers which are actually better than other thrillers which appeared in cinemas and made a lot of money. Check it out, u will not regret it.
