Quicksand: No Escape *** (1992, Donald Sutherland, Tim Matheson, Jay Acovone, Felicity Huffman) – Classic Movie Review 5336

The always-admirable Donald Sutherland grabs an ideal opportunity to show his worth as a corrupt private eye in director Michael Pressman’s tense, clever 1992 offbeat thriller.

Sutherland’s character Murdoch gets into blackmail after he is hired by Julianna Reinhardt (Felicity Huffman), the wife of architect Scott Reinhardt (Tim Matheson), whom she suspects of infidelity. Murdoch seizes his chance to frame the man for murder.

Sutherland’s splendidly menacing performance is the making of this very decent, up-market made-for-cable TV movie offering. Jay Acovone plays Detective Harris, and Timothy Carhart and Margaret Reed co-star. The strong screenplay is written by Peter Baloff and Dave Wollert.
