Roberts plays Laura Burney, the wife of a rich investment counselor, Martin (Patrick Bergin).

Julia Roberts and Patrick Bergin truly captured the essence of victim and abuser in this movie. This will definitely be a classic especially for those who study the human psyche. It was a great learning tool for my mental health psychiatric nursing lecture course.

Interesting tale
Roberts does a good job in this thriller about a wife pursued by her psycho OCD husband. Seems to start slow but the suspense builds very well as the movie proceeds. Good plot. My wife and I both liked it.
