Editorial Review:
She'd kill to be loved. Matt Draper (Michael Rooker) is a man with a double life. Nestled in a quiet town lives Ruth (Rebecca DeMornay), sexy wife number one. Miles away in the middle of the city lives the second wife. Both are unaware of the other until the secret starts to unravel and Ruth's passion becomes a threat. As Matt plots to escape, Ruth seduces another man into her deadly scheme to keep Matt to herself. Nothing is what it seems when you underestimate a woman scorned.
Wicked Ways Reviews:
Coen Brothers meets David Lynch 
2003-02-08 - Wasn't expecting much knowing the producers do mostly straight to video, but was surprised by the camera angles and dialogue. Very fun and unpredictable. Get to see DeMornay with biggest bust she's had in any movie. Heard she was nursing during this one. Not that that matters for film geeks, but, well, they are sitting out there in most of the scenes. Okay then.
Average movie. Great perfromance by Rebecca De Mornay. 
2001-11-01 - Rebecca De Mornay makes a great job as usual in this average thriller. She plays a very confused and not quite sane wife of a man who's always "working" (=having a second family in another city). Her character, Ruth, is an interesting character. The movie, however, feels like a made-for-TV-movie. It is an average movie and with another lead actress it would probably be quite forgettable. But still, it is something about it that makes it quite appealing and enjoyable. I recommend Rebecca De Mornay fans to at least rent it. She's a very talented actress, and beautiful too.
Oh Rebecca say it ain't so 
2001-09-12 - Well, we all know Michael Rooker is sometimes in good
stuff ( like "The Bone Collector" ) and more often in
very ropey stuff like this, but to see Rebecca DeMornay
in such a bad bad movie is just too much. I can hardly
believe this is the same woman from "Feds", "Risky Business",
"The Hand That Rocks The Cradle" and the underrated "Dealers".
She is too beautiful to get stuck in B-movie dreck like this.
Please Rebecca, get back in a good movie soon.
my view
2001-07-17 - I really saw alot in the this movie. A guy who married the right woman to enhance the career but needed something spicey on the side,someone who started out being controlled by lust,then he had to gain his control back by ... induced mind games.Ruth was fighting for her sanity and to be loved completely i.e. baby.I liked the performance of Rebecca DeMornay in this because of the complicated character she played. A stripper,humorous,insecurity,fighting for her husbands attention,bored housewife with a troubled past,not a ozzie and harriet type of family childhood. I would have liked to have seen the shift of power,matt being controlled by Ruth in the beginning but Matt tries to use ... on Ruth to control her.That Rebecca DeMornay is one intelligent actress capable of playing any role. She might be one woman who could tell me something I don't already know.Watch this one! Jim
Edge of your Seat Movie
2001-03-29 - This movie is an edge of your seat movie that keeps you watching from start to finish. This is about a man who says he is going on field trips for work, but instead is going to the house of his other wife, which wife #1 does not know about. I could not stop watching this. I tried predicting what was going to happen next, but I was wrong, and I loved that I was wrong. Too many movies are too predictable and this one is not at all. This is easily the best movie I have ever seen. Rent it or buy it today. It is more than worth it. The ending is shocking. I could of never guessed what was going to happen, and this movie is full of surprises. I love it. Wicked Ways is an A+ movie! I was extremely impressed the first time I watched it. This movie deserves five stars. Any movie that can hook me into it so good that I do not want to leave my seat, deserves the honor of me writing this review to tell everyone else out there, that this is not just anyone predictable thriller, it is one of the best movies out there! I haven't told you much about the plot and the shocking surprises, and that is because I want you to see it for yourself. Go see it!! Trust me, there are a very few amount of movies I actually like, and I more than liked this one, I loved Wicked Ways!
