Amazon.com:
Before screenwriter Joe Eszterhas wrote the ridiculous Showgirls, he crafted some entertaining if porous thrillers along the lines of the 1985 Jagged Edge, a taut mystery about an attorney (Glenn Close) who defends a newspaper publisher (Jeff Bridges) accused of murder. The fact that Close's character falls for him is more convenient than plausible, but it is a necessary emotional bridge for Eszterhas and the late director Richard Marquand (Eye of the Needle) to build toward a powerful finale. Scary, fun as courtroom dramas go, the film is well serviced by the two lead stars and has impressive support from costar Peter Coyote and especially from Robert Loggia, who plays Close's cop buddy. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Keeps You Guessing!
This is a very satisfying murder Who-Dun-It. Jeff Bridges (the murder suspect) leads an unsuspecting lawyer (Glenn Close) into a labyrinth of lies and love in a story you will say sounds familiar.
A beautiful divorced lawyer, highly respected, Teddy Barnes (Close) falls for her client, Jack Forrester (Bridges) while defending him on a murder wrap. Jack is handsome, rich and smart, with charm to spare. Teddy agrees to defend him. Jack is accused of murdering his wife with a ... Read More
Rating:  - A thriller not to be missed...
Glenn Close delivers a masterful performance as the guilt ridden attorney who lives through the turmoil of having dealt the wrong sentence to a man and now having to defend a man that she is not sure is innocent.
A thriller that keeps you on the edge... the jagged edge... you will love the performances, the court give and take between prosecution and defense, and end up scared out of your wits, and yet, enjoying each and every minute of this film.

Rating: - Drama That Keeps You Wondering About Character
I LOVED this movie and could not find it for years--thought it was called "The Razor's Edge" (but that was a Bill Murray movie made around the same time).
This is exciting and it seemed realistic in the grisly parts and the scenery. It was thought-provoking and it made me really wonder if Glenn Close was falling in love with a murderer or if he was truly innocent and earnest, like she hopes.
It helped me realize that others struggle with judging a person early on in seemingly ... Read More
Rating:  - Should have been a Lifetime TV movie
Other than the performances of Glenn Close & Jeff Bridges, this movie has the intelligence level of a Lifetime TV Movie...maybe even less. Then again, what can you expect from Joe Eszterhas, the writer of "Flashdance," "Basic Instinct," and most dubiously "Showgirls." The story is about Jack Forrester (Bridges), a good looking and charming man accused of killing his wife, heiress Paige Forrester. Attorney Teddy Barnes (Close) comes out of retirement from criminal cases to defend him; the prosecutor for ... Read More
Rating: - Please,someone tell me why this movie is so well liked
Even when it came out in the 80's I found myself amazed that so many people loved this movie. If you love it then I'm about to make you mad and I'm sorry.
The plot is very thin(you can see where it's going in the first 10 mins) and so the "thrill" is lost and as for the acting, Peter Coyote and Oscar nominee Robert Loggia steal this movie when they are on screen. Jeff Bridges is always good but has little to do as the accused killer and must sit quietly in court and that leaves Glenn Close to carry ... Read More
