One of the most lacklustre psycho thrillers of the era, SEPARATE LIVES is a film that manages to get pretty much everything wrong although not so severely that it moves into so-bad-it's-good territory. Instead it's a lukewarm and half-hearted enterprise in which an overaged and miscast James Belushi plays a former detective now full-time psychology student. His professor is none other than TERMINATOR starlet Linda Hamilton, still playing up to her powerful image but struggling in an underwritten schizophrenic role. The thrills are in extremely short supply in a film which feels like a TV movie (although it isn't) and the half-hearted sex scenes and the like are truly tiresome.
