Watchlist:

The gruesome death of a prostitute brings suspicion on one of her clients, James Wayland, a brilliant, self-destructive and epileptic heir to a textile fortune. So detectives Braxton and Kennesaw take Wayland in for questioning, thinking they can break the man. But despite his troubles, Wayland is a master of manipulation, and during the interrogation, he begins to turn the tables on the investigators, forcing them to reveal their own sinister sides.

Why you might like this:

Fans of psychological thrillers will enjoy the complex cat-and-mouse game between the brilliant but troubled suspect James Wayland (played by Tim Roth) and the detectives interrogating him in this 1997 crime drama directed by Jonas Pate. The film's taut, twisty narrative and skilled performances make for a compelling exploration of morality and the nature of truth.
