Synopsis:

His name was Mike. That’s all Betty really knew about him. But now some dangerous people know too much about her. The next stop for the killers who carried out Mike’s Murder may be Betty’s house. Following their Urban Cowboy teamwork, writer/director “Jim Bridges draws a dynamic performance from Debra Winger” (Guy Flatley, Cosmopolitan) as Betty in this chilling mystery. Innocently in love with wayward Mike (Mark Keyloun), she doesn’t attach any significance to his dropping out of her life for months, then suddenly returning. She should. Mike moves in a shadowy world of drugs and violence – one soon to have frightening repercussions for Betty. Winger’s flawless work has the impact of real life. So does Bridges’ use of setting. He captures Los Angeles’ moods as few filmmakers have. In this powerful movie, both the people and the place give killer performances.

Comments about Mike's Murder (DVD):

Mike's Murder is a truly original psychological thriller set in a very evocative LA circa mid 80s. Debra Winger gives a great performance as a mild bank teller unwillingly drawn into the drug/crime underworld of west LA. This is an unexpected 'neo-noir' that will appeal to anyone who appreciates great acting, subtle storytelling and in-depth characters/plotting.

Comments about Mike's Murder (DVD):

Debra Winger really shines in this character study that explores the sleazy underbelly of modern suburbia. It's a uniquely sunny L.A. noir, covering the same sleazy territory as Lynch's masterpiece, BLUE VELVET, albeit more accessibly. It's honestly affecting by the time it's over. John Barry wrote the sensual, haunting score. The dvd has a film-like quality, reflecting the look of the original theatrical print.
