China Moon ★★½ 1991 (R)

Convoluted police thriller, set in Florida, about beautiful Rachel (Stowe), who's married to rich-but-abusive Rupert (Dance). Kyle (Harris) is the lonely homicide detective who's besotted by Rachel and conveniently helps her dispose of her murdered husband's body. Kyle's problems increase when his rookie partner (Del Toro) turns out to be smarter than anyone thinks. Good performances but the suspense is only average. 99m/C VHS, DVD . Ed Harris, Madeleine Stowe, Benicio Del Toro, Charles Dance; D: John Bailey; W: Roy Carlson; C: Willy Kurant; M: George Fenton.
