I found nothing redeeming in Jagged Edge at all.
Not the story
Not the acting (despite good actors)
Not the cinematography
In short it was a plain vanilla effort all the way around

Agree, it felt like a 70s movie of the week on {choose your network}, but without commercial interruption from some very fine sponsors.
shareAfter a good opening and until the tense ending it was… somewhat bland. I didn’t mind for a while because I suspected the film was toying with me, treating me as a juror who can’t decide whether Jack was guilty or innocent, and then when Teddy apparently decides to ‘sell out’ once again by pretending the typewriter ‘never happened’ I thought it was all worth it… then you get the very Hollywood final ending where she shoots the killer dead and we see it is indeed Jack.
All the nuance and sophistication was thrown away in that moment and the whole thing did indeed seem lame, stale, and uncreative.
