Malice
1993
**
Director: Harold Becker
Cast: Nicole Kidman, Alec Baldwin, Bill Pullman, Bebe Neuwirth
When a pregnant teacher loses her fetus and both of her ovaries, she and her husband sue the arrogant surgeon for malpractice. But is that what really happened? This weak thriller doesn't have one character you can trust or care about, and the long subplot about a rapist is nothing but a clunky and over-egged plot device. The ending is especially flat. Aaron Sorkin and Scott Frank scripted from Jonas McCord's story, although the whole thing seems to be an uncredited remake of a TV film The Operation (1990).
