James Urbanski (Willis) is
busy leaving his mark in life — just
ask his wife, Joyce (Glenne ttead-
ly). In fact, his latest marks are
now turning a Geep shaae of pur-
ple on her arms. As his abuse in-
creases, so do her comments
about killing him.

Her childhood friend, Cynthia
Kellog (Demi Moore), has heard
the tough talk for years and
assumnes they are just the usual
mutterings. Sure, she knows jim-
my is a swine. His idea of paren-
ting is to diaper his baby with
adult-size utiderwear and duct
tape. And when he isn’t snorting
the family allowance up his nose,
he’s trying to score with her.

Stil, Cynthia doesn’t take the
murder talk seriously — even after
witnessing Joyce mix rat poison in
with his sugar. {It was just 2 joke.

So, who's laughing?

Not James’ suspicious relatives.
Not Arthur, Cynthia’s selfishly
angry husband. And certainly not

FILM REVIEW

the two lifelong friends who
dumped the bleeding corpse.
About the only one having any
fun is Det. john Woods (Harvey
Keitel}, punching away at Cyn-
thia’s statement while consuming
powdered denuts and coffee.
But the fun is really for the au-
dience, treated to a taut script,
gritty performances and caustic
wit. Demi Moore, so mediocre in
Ghost, must have been saving her
talent for this role (although she

does overuse the single, perfect
tear trick).

Her real-life husband Willis
makes a great lout, but somehow
(perhaps because he is Bruce
Willis) he’s a lout with appeal. But
it’s Headly with the fullest role —
crackling street smarts, vulgar
humor and an intensity that gets
downright scary when he starts to
question her friend’s loyalty.

Thanks to the script and some
quirky touches by director Alan
Rudolph, Mortal Thoughts is a
solid thriller, refreshingly more
concerned with thought than
morality.

Reflections of Murder ***
(CBS/Fox Home Video) Unrated

Mousey wife Joan Hackett and
domineering mistress Tuesday
Weld conspire to murder their
brutal mate (Sam Waterston) in
this made-for-TV replica of the
French classic Diabolique. Starting
slowly, the mystery set in a gloomy
boys’ school builds to a nerve-
wracking finale as the perfect
murder proves anything but.

The gothic atmosphere plays
better in the black and white orig-
inal, but the color remake com-
pensates with a superb Joan
Hackett performance.
