Final Analysis is an American neo-noir drama directed by Phil Joanou and written by Wesley Strick. It stars Richard Gere, Kim Basinger and Uma Thurman. The executive producers were Gere and Maggie Wilde. The neo-noir style of Final Analysis imitates Hitchcockian thrillers like Vertigo. Isaac Barr is a top-notch San Francisco Freudian psychiatrist, who has Diana Baylor on the patient's couch. He is treating her for frightening and horrific childhood memories, which include images of her drunken father and his death in a fire for which she wasn't blamed. One night, Heather Evans enters... Barr's office and says she is Baylor's sister. She asks Barr for information about her sister's case. It is implied, as part of the treatment, that Isaac speak to Heather to find out more about her sister's past experiences and determine if she might provide information Diana has forgotten. Not long after, Heather seduces Isaac, and a steamy affair follows. The problem: Heather is married to Jimmy Evans , a violent and wealthy gangster.
