A brilliantly dark and twisty thriller movie is on TV tonight

The legal thriller has an 81% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

The film centres around lawyer Teddy Barnes (Close), who reluctantly takes up the case of publisher Jack Forrester (Bridges).

This is after he has been accused of murdering his wife for her money.

"As the trial develops, she is kept guessing right to the very last minute as to whether Jack is an innocent man or a cunning, manipulative murderer," the plot synopsis reads.

Jagged Edge came from Joe Eszterhas, the same writer as later cult classics Basic Instinct and Showgirls.

Thanks to its dark, twisty story and great performances, his 1985 movie not only scored an Oscar nomination in the supporting actor category for Robert Loggia, but also an 81% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Jagged Edge is airing on TV tonight/tomorrow morning at 1.05am on the channel Legend.

The legal thriller is also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play and the Sky Store.
