I really enjoyed this movie.
Julia Roberts plays the abused wife of a controlling and possessive man, who rules her with an iron thumb and smacks her about if she doesn't obey him or do what he says. Seeing the perfect opportunity one day to get away from him she fakes her own death after a frightful storm whilst out in their boat.
She makes it to a new town, changes her name and starts again with a new identity, even meeting a friendly man who tries to help her get a job in the college library. However her husband has found out that she is still alive, and will do whatever it takes to track her down and kill her.
Thrilling and terrifying because this sort of thing does happen in real life; people really can be this evil. Roberts is excellent.
