  • The Rich Man's Wife
  • This edge-of-your-seat thriller stars sexy Halle Berry (SWORDFISH) 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 (THE FACULTY) and Peter Greene (THE USUAL SUSPECTS) in an outstanding cast, THE RICH MAN'S WIFE is riveting entertainment that delivers heart-stopping suspense!

    'Who is Keyser Söze?' Hard to believe, but the signature line from The Usual Suspects has everything to do with this limp 'from-hell' thriller.
