Jade is a very entertaining film. Its not great, but it is worth seeing. All the actors did a good job. Linda Fiorentino smokes up the screen whenever she's on it. Sexy thrillers are my favorite type of movies. This is... Full review

Jade is a pretty good movie. Its not one of William Friedkin’s best films, but its pretty decent. One of the reasons that makes this movie work is Linda Fiorentino. Linda is a very sexy woman. I just saw her in... Full review

Excellent flick. I think its too sexual for many people though. Hense the box office failure. Caruso and the rest of the cast are great. I love this flick.... Full review

I liked the opening scenes; great camera work. "Jade" opens with opulent scenes of a rich guy's mansion. Of course he's dead in an upstairs bedroom where his S&M equipment is located along with his collection of exotic weapons, one of... Full review

Make no mistake: (1) this IS a sordid crime story and (2) is is FAR better than the national critics - and the ones here - would have you believe. I have found it fascinating the three times I've watched... Full review

This is a really great movie. Unfortunately, as so often, Americans were not allowed access to the European version, though I believe there is a longer version available on DVD. The strength of the movie is not only the story and... Full review

I'm the sort of guy who stays behind to read the closing credits of a movie . I'm also the sort of guy who makes a note of who the producer , director and screenwriter is . I guess that's... Full review

"Jade' deserves better out of the film arena Friedkin supervised the gorgeous transfer in which the occasionally punched-up colors serve "Jade's" fantastic atmosphere very well. The sexual scenes in which the action has a stylized quality work best. ... Full Review

Even if you can stomach that kind of nonsense, "Jade" has a fatal problem in its lackluster ending, so unfocused it seems like part of the movie has been lopped off with scissors. After placing several characters in considerable jeopardy, "Jade" neglects to explain who did what to whom and why. ... Full Review

Jade'' opens in an elegantly appointed Russian Hill mansion, where a rich socialite is being murdered off camera. Despite its posh trimmings, and Fiorentino's feline presence, ``Jade'' never rises above its limitations and never cloaks the fact that Eszterhas' dialogue and script are basically pulp -- minus the trashy fun that we've come to expect from the genre. ...

There is no other explanation than thoughtlessness for what an incoherent, disjointed and unimaginative movie they've made. I USED to joke that I knew a movie was bad when I had to spend more time writing my review than the screenwriter spent working out the plot. ... Full Review

The film is directed by one of Hollywood's best, William Friedkin (``The French Connection''). Fiorentino and Palminteri are a couple of the best actors around. With all this talent why is this film so mediocre? I'd like to concentrate on ... Full Article

Sex sells. At least that's what the age-old marketing mantra always promised. But with the less-than-steamy receptions given to this fall's NC-17-carrying Showgirls ($21 million) and the atmospheric Jade ($9 million), a more fitting catchphrase in Hollywood these days might... ... Full Article
