Movie Review-----LOVE CRIME

Kristen Scott Thomas can do no wrong. She is one of a handful of Actresses that if her name is on something, I will watch it no matter what it is. I had the pleasure of seeing her on Broadway a few seasons ago in a dazzling production of THE SEAGULL. In LOVE CRIME, she plays the literal 'Boss From Hell'. Her character is every employee's biggest fear. She will do anything to remain 'Top Dog', including blackmail, stealing ideas from underlings, and cooking up fake emails. About an hour into this thriller, a murder takes place. That is about all I will say about the plot. Part of the delicious fun is not knowing what waits around every corner! This is a French film with English subtitles, however there are long stretches of English language in it also. It has the feel of Hitchcock combined with a touch of DePalma. It's great fun. Don't read too much about it before seeing it. It's too much fun seeing the "perfect murder" dissected in front of you.
