About As Good As Dead
Susan moves to LA and befriends party girl Nicole, who suffers from painful stomach ulcers but cannot be treated without insurance. Susan decides to temporarily switch identities with Nicole so that her friend can have an operation. However, when Nicole suddenly dies after the procedure, ending Susan’s legal identity, Susan has to pose as Nicole to regain her life.
Directed by Larry Cohen, As Good As Dead leans on a strong ensemble — Judge Reinhold, Traci Lords, Carlos Carrasco — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about mystery titles of 1995.
