Sleeping with the Enemy [Blu-ray] [1991]

Joseph Ruben has fashioned a by-the-numbers, glossy, engrossing, if trashy and predictable, thriller. It is imminently watchable, of course, and features the mega-watt smile of our fave, Julia Roberts, who improbably dons theatrical costumes in the midst of a semi-breakdown to the tune of Brown-Eyed Girl. The men around Julia, both her over-the-top psychopathic husband and her would-be new, soft boyfriend (Patrick Bergin and Kevin Andersen, respectively) are completely dispensable, and Ruben knows this: he keeps us monumentally focused on the beguiling Ms. Roberts throughout. It is easy to forget and forgive lapses in credibility (there are many), and the opening twenty minutes have a glossy, antiseptic queasiness about them that seem to be setting up a much more deft and daring thriller. All of that vanishes, along with common sense, but it hardly matters. This movie is one you can watch over and over and over again, a bunch of chips nearby: it moves quickly, harmlessly, and gives you what you want when you just don't feel much like thinking.

Love this movie! I enjoy Julia Roberts very much anyway so it's hard for me not to like her acting. I'm a fan. This movie has a good plot. She's in a marriage with a controlling man. Everything has to be perfect. She must be the perfect wife. When she plans her elaborate escape she never is fully free of this man. He tracks her down. Suspenseful and although a predictable ending, gotta love it!

Julia Roberts had always been a great actor even in her earlier career as with this movie. She expresses courage, bravery and will to survive as she endures a controlling and abusive relationship. Her strategy to escape the harsh conditions of living with her abusive husband with impeccable.

ESCAPING A BRUTAL AND COTROLLING HUSBAND WITH A.D.D. DISORDER, CAN ONLY GIVE YOU MANY REASONS TO RUN AWAY. STARTING A NEW LIFE IS HARD, WHEN TRUSTING OTHERS IS NOT EASY. SHE WILL FIND OUT HOW HARD IT IS, AND EVEN WORSE WHEN HER HUSBAND FINDS OUT SHE'S STILL ALIVE.

This is a movie that we have not seen and we were delighted when I was able to purchase it from BestBuy at a good price so my wife and I can watch it anytime we want.

julia roberts does a stupendous job of actibg.It has a great story line that is possible to happen in real life gives you an idea of what its like with a wife beating husband with the lengths you may have to go to to escape

This movie still creeps me out. Its not the scariest movie I've ever seen but it may be the eeriest. I still rem when it came out in theaters. Fantastic pic quality on blu-ray. Was only $5.99 at Best Buy.

Next to pretty woman this is my favorite Julia Roberts movie. Her escape from the abusive spouse was quite clever. The movie gives hope to those in a relationship like this one and is a must see!
