1985 excellent murder mystery 'Jagged Edge' with Glenn Close

JAGGED EDGE from COLUMBIA PICTURES (1985). The average movie ticket price was $3.55. The production climbed to $15 million. It became a box office hit and topped $40 million in the U.S. 

Sony Pictures announced in 2018 that Halle Berry would recreate the Glenn Close role in a remake. That has never materialized. (IMO. Leave the classic 1980's movie alone.).  

Jagged Edge -- A beautiful socialite is savagely killed inside of her bedroom. She was tied up and both of her nipples were cut off. All before she was stabbed to death by a hunting knife - with a jagged edge. The socialite's husband is accused of killing her who is soon arrested for her murder. 

An aggressive defense female-attorney takes on the case. She is seduced by the husband who begins to look innocent. The intense courtroom trial unfolds in his favor. He is also the beneficiary of the wife's life insurance and all of her loaded assets.

I can't give anything away... Watch closely because there are twists and turns that make this a captivating mystery. 

Back in 1985 - film audiences wanted to know who was shot and killed at the end. It was a male who wore a specific mask. The filmmakers wanted the audience to "make up their own minds" about who the real killer was.

It is best to watch it on Blu-Ray because each scene has a mystery. I love this film. Check it out.
