Editorial Review:
This edge-of-your-seat thriller stars sexy Halle Berry (X-MEN, MONSTER'S BALL, DIE ANOTHER DAY) as a beautiful woman hopelessly trapped in a web of suspense and terror where nothing is what it seems! Josie Potenza (Berry) has it all: a fabulous home, a life of privilege, and a wealthy husband. But Josie's seemingly perfect life takes a nightmarish turn when her husband is brutally murdered -- making her the prime suspect in the police investigation ... and the prime target of a psychotic blackmailing killer! Featuring Christopher McDonald (SPY KIDS(TM) 2) and Peter Greene (THE USUAL SUSPECTS) in an outstanding cast, THE RICH MAN'S WIFE is riveting entertainment that delivers heart-stopping suspense!
Description of The Rich Man's Wife:
One of Halle Berry's first star vehicles, The Rich Man's Wife has a quirky, unearned twist for an ending, but everything else is pretty obvious. So obvious, it's possible to review it like this:
See Halle.
Halle is a wife.
See Halle's husband.
The husband is mean.
See the barfly.
Halle tells the barfly how she feels.
The barfly is not well.
The barfly kills Halle's husband.
The barfly tricks Halle.
Extort. Extort. Extort.
Halle has to run.
Halle has to fight.
Halle has to carry this movie.
Act, Halle! Act!
Halle has no help.
Plot, people! Plot!
And, no, even though it's rated R, she keeps her clothes on. -- Keith SimantonThe Rich Man's Wife Reviews:
A film of deceit 
2009-09-18 - The Rich Man's Wife is a gripping thriller played by actors fitting for the roles that they potray. Halle Berry is at her best with good looks and innocence until the end. The scenes mirror true life, accomplished by the acting ability of the cast. The park scene where the husband is brutally murdered is done in such a way that it is not like TV or on the screen. Too brutal to be TV. The directors knew what they were doing here. Halle Berry's best features are highlighted at the right times. The plot consists of twists that keep you entertained throughout.
suspense baby! 
2009-04-16 - Halle really plays her part when it comes down being the innocent one,watch out because that beauty and innocents that she betrays will get you every time.

Gold digger's fable 
2007-11-05 - This forgettable film can be summed up in four lines:
When marrying for money
Expensive clothes and cars
It's better not to bare your heart
To creepy guys in bars

1. Halle Berry
2. A very young Clive Owen
Why you should skip this movie:
1. Horrible plot
2. Holes in aforementioned horrible plot
3. You need ANOTHER reason?
Rated: 2.5 stars

Makes 'Catwoman' Look Like Shakespeare... 
2005-03-21 - ...and with the exception of Catwoman, thank gawd Halle ran into better roles after this stinko. Wait a minute. She did 'Baps', too.
