Plot Summary
A stunning New York socialite and a down-to-earth city cop are caught in a deadly web of illicit passion and heart-stopping suspense in this taut, stylish thriller. Newly-appointed detective Mike Keegan (Tom Berenger, Platoon) finds his life turned upside down when he's assigned to protect Claire Gregory (Mimi Rogers), the beautiful eyewitness to a brutal murder. Lured into danger and the dizzying heights of Gregory's glamorous lifestyle, Keegan struggles to walk the line between protection and obsession while trying to stay one step ahead of the psychotic killer. Acclaimed director Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner), paints an erotically seductive portrait of high-stakes suspense in America's power playground in "Someone to Watch Over Me."

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Howard Franklin's screenplay plays less like a feature film than like the pilot for a failed television series about New York policemen.
Fresh: A stylish and romantic police thriller which manages, through the sleek direction of Ridley Scott and persuasive ensemble performances, to triumph over several hard-to-swallow plot developments.
Fresh: Illogical, flawed or forced thrillers are all too common. Ones that knock your eyes out are rare.
Fresh: Even though the movie doesn't leave much of a residue, it looks terrific while you're watching it: Manhattan has seldom appeared as glitzy or as glamorous.
Customer Reviews
A must see Ridley Scott film!
This is one of Ridly Scott's first films and it really keeps you on the edge of your seat. Scott doesn't rely on any special effects just a great plot and thorough character development. Why not check out "Blade Runner" and make it a classic Ridley Scott classic double feature!
