Bodily Harm

Homicide cop Rita Cates takes a murder case where the victim is a Las Vegas stripper. The investigation immediately takes a perverse turn when she discovers the prime suspect: a psychotic ex-cop with whom she once had a torrid affair. That initial affair drove Cates' husband to suicide, but it doesn't stop her from picking up where she left off. In the heat of passion, she jeopardizes the case, her career and her life.

Directed by James Lemmo, Bodily Harm leans on a strong ensemble — Linda Fiorentino, Daniel Baldwin, Gregg Henry — 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 thriller titles of 1995.
