Someone to Watch Over Me, a mystery thriller directed by Ridley Scott is the story of a police officer who falls in love with the woman he is hired to protect and the effect of this affair on his marriage and his life. Claire (Mimi Rogers) an extremely wealthy socialite is the sole witness to a mob murder and is in great danger. Mike (Tom Berenger), a happily married NYC police officer is assigned to protect her and takes up residence in her foyer while she waits to testify. A romance develops between the unlikely couple which threatens Mike's marriage to Ellie (Lorraine Bracco). All of this sounds more exciting than it is, and while the film fails to generate much suspense, the love story and Mike's dilemma are interesting. All the performances are excellent, particularly that of Bracco as the no-nonsense wife. The score is exceptional and the photography and set decoration are all fine. Someone to Watch Over Me is a fine police thriller and love story. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

This slice of New York life from the perspective of one Italian visitor to the Big Apple is on-target with its portrayals of New Yorkers and the situations the visitor encounters. When Marco (Luca Barbareschi) is on his way in from the airport he meets a young man on the bus who offers him a place to stay for awhile. Marco then has a discouraging encounter with a former lover that does nothing to brighten the city's wintry landscape, and a one-nighter with another woman is a little less than ideal since she only speaks French. Marco goes on to experience the city and begins to enter into a somewhat ambivalent relationship with the young man who so generously shared his apartment. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi
