Sleeping with the Enemy (1991)

From NetFlix: "Laura (Julia Roberts) discovers that, in private, her handsome husband (Patrick Bergin) is an enraged psychotic who takes out his frustrations on her with his fists. Tired of being a punching bag, Laura orchestrates her escape by faking her death. She starts over in a small Iowa town, where she meets a new beau. But her peace is quickly shattered when she discovers her husband is hot on her trail."

This is a powerful film -- a thriller and a real cliff-hanger. Not deep -- but worth seeing. 1991 97 minutes
