An average movie

Posted : 8 years, 8 months ago on 13 July 2015 09:15

I remember quite well when this movie was released. Indeed, there was quite some buzz about it as it was a new steamy thriller starring Michael Doublas and Demi Moore. Especially, Douglas built up his career and reputation on such features after his success with ‘Fatal Attraction’ and more recently with ‘Basic Instinct’ so they were all hoping to have another hit with this. Unfortunately, the whole thing was eventually rather underwhelming. Indeed, after all, the only thing that really did work was the controversial poster. I mean, sure, it was a nice idea to make a movie about sexual harassment but it was a pity that it was so poorly developped. Indeed, how can we believe that Michael Douglas, of all people, wouldn’t fall for Demi Moore’s charm and she had to harass him in order to get laid? Seriously, that just didn’t work. I mean, if they had reversed the roles, that Moore was the victim and Douglas the sexual predator, then, we would have had something interesting but, apparently, the makers didn’t dare to have something so close to something realistic, so, they thought it would be smarter to take this underwhelming and unbelievable angle. On top of that, they added a very murky corporate complot which barely worked as well. To conclude, even though the whole thing had some potential, it turned to be rather disappointing and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
