An average movie

I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. In fact, I remember this flick very well, I even saw it in the movie theater when it was released back then. The best thing about this flick was that, before watching it and at least until half way throught the damned thing, I thought it was actually a rather straigthforward thriller. Eventually, until that point, I thought it was actually quite entertaining with a nice mood and some pretty good chemistry between Neve Campbell, Denise Richards and Matt Dillon. However, at some point, the whole thing went just way over the top, with some numerous and really far-fetched twists and, from then on, I kind of lost interest in the damned thing. Basically, it is a really sleazy thriller with a really ridiculously convoluted plot and I honestly think it could have worked better if they had taken the story a little bit more seriously. I mean, come on! In the last 10 minutes, there was a massive twist every 30 seconds which was just terribly annoying at some point. After rewatching the damned thing, it became pretty obvious that this movie was actually never meant to be a straightforward thriller but some kind of neo-film noir mixed with a B feature with an erotic edge. Anyway, to conclude, I think this flick is pretty much a classic for every teenage boy who grew up in the 90’s, it is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine, and even though it is terribly flawed, I still think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
