【5 STARS FOR KEVIN SPACEY】
Like so many films these days you sit through the first third or even two thirds and your'e absolutely gripped only to be let down by a banal, predictable ending.
In fact, I have seen so many films lately that lose the plot after half an hour, Consenting Adults, can be recommended on this alone!!
My lovers and I were looking for dvdos to watch the new year away.
We ended up watching about 7 movies over the long weekend, and the movie we like the best was a surprise.
We picked up this movie form the "Blockbuster Favorites" section looking for a bargain.
Well, we got one.
This movie was excellent. Here are a few reasons why:
First of all the plot is absolutely intriguing.!!
It seems like another one of those movies about how an affair can destroy someone's life when you read the movie synopsis on the back of the box, but this flick turns out to be a psychological thriller.
The twists and turns keep your interest as the affair turns into a murder and a murder turns into a quest for vindication.
Secondly, the acting is superb.
Kevin Kline, Kevin Spacey, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio head up this brilliant cast.
He leaves no holes and seals hi story tightly.
So, if you're at the video store looking for something different that probably won't be already checked out.
However, the moral issues are resolved if you keep watching.★★★★★
I really enjoyed this movie; kept you on the edge of your seat, scared as all heck!!
Kevin Kline is a great actor, we all know that, and it was nice to see him play such a warm and wonderful husband.
I was shocked to see Kevin Spacey looking so different, especially with the full head of blond hair and a tan! He really looked wonderful; but what a great actor! He certainly played this part well.
At first, you don't think he did it, then you think maybe, and at the end, bingo == he's the creep!!
He can play any part and he certainly will never be typecast!!*****
