I started off sympathetic to Kathleen Turner and stayed that way for the most part, so it wasn't so much a war as it was Michael Douglas being a terrifying domestic abuser. Nowadays they would probably make him gaslight more at first. I was a bit surprised by his turn into a monster, though, since his initial reasons for divorce were mostly tame disagreements or incompatibility of personalities. DeVito could have been cut from the movie altogether. Fav scenes: seductive Turner; dog pate.
