Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The biggest fault of Jagged Edge is that whatever suspense it manages to generate in its climactic scenes is achieved artificially, through tricky editing and manipulative ''danger'' music.

fresh:
A well-crafted, hardboiled mystery.

rotten:
The wholesome cast completely obliterates the unstated perversities that have been this genre's reason for being.

rotten:
The screenplay, by Joe Eszterhas, does what it can to throw up a smokescreen, but the audience will probably be well ahead of the story's final resolution.

Supremely effective.
