Review of Wicked

Wicked (1998)
5/10
Stiles is Good

Julia Stiles plays the troubled teenage daughter of an unhappily married couple who lives with her little sister in a well-to-do gated community.

Both mother and father play around, daddy with a housekeeper and mommy with a grungy looking neighbor.

One sunny morning, mom is beaten to death and Michael Parks is the lead detective in the case. I remember him from a TV series from 1969-1970 called Then Came Bronson.

Stiles becomes a substitute wife for her grieving father and it leads to some cringe worthy moments.

I was captivated for the first three quarters of the film but the ending made no sense whatsoever.

Stiles has gone on to showcase her talents and the Showtime series Dexter was one of her better roles. She makes Wicked worth a viewing.
