"Just Cause" is a well-done thriller: assuredly directed (it was only Arne Glimcher's second film, but you'd never know it), with a strong sense of place (the American South), a top-notch cast (Sean Connery and Laurence Fishburne are as commanding as ever; Ed Harris is perhaps a little over-the-top but genuinely disturbing), and one spectacular car stunt. But it is also predictable (the big twist is not that hard to guess if you have seen more than 5 thrillers of this type in your life), and conventional: it's another one in a long line of thrillers in which the women have no other function except to be imperiled by madmen. ** out of 4.
