The murderer stews in jail for seven years, obsessively following the rising career of his arresting officer, who becomes a DA with a promising future, a husband, and a dad. This doesn't sit well with the vengeful convict, who after escaping from prison, puts into play a series of fiendish plots in an attempt to destroy the attorney's marriage and career. And only by engaging in a violent rematch with his diabolical nemesis will the desecrated DA be able to clear his name and save his marriage. [More]

Reviews for Ricochet
After a potent start this fizzles with a stupid ending, but John Lithgow's Earl Talbot Blake is one of the most sinister, most vicious, most unforgettable movie villains ever.
Solid thriller. Lithgow is a great villain with real power over the hero. Lots of tension.
As with other Silver-smithed projects, this one is almost frighteningly competent at bashing heads and pushing all the right buttons.
