Well, I went to a DVD exchange store looking for the 1984's classic, and the attendant came to me with this. After asking which year it's been released in, she responded me it was the 84's. Long story short: I was fooled. The internet comments towards this made me feel like I was about to have one of the worst film sessions of my life but, fortunately, in fact, I ended up enjoying this version. "Crimes of Passion" delighted me due to its fast paced story; there are a lot of things going on all the time, so you never have time to get things straight. The plot is filled with people with bad spirit; characters you think you're liking are, most of the time, just another deception. So, that being said, it's evident that we're given a lot of twists that bring some surprise to the story-- albeit appealing to the old greedy moral lesson we've all seen before. Also, I agree that some twists are over the top, making me doubt whether I was seeing a good movie or not. Either way, defects aside, "Crimes of Passion" is a very entertaining picture for those who like suspenseful thrillers, and maybe the female attendant wasn't that mean with me.
