Dangerous Attraction (2000)

That was an excellent one.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

DANGEROUS ATTRACTION is one of those Z-grade 'erotic' thrillers that they were still making a decade after the likes of FATAL ATTRACTION and BASIC INSTINCT popularised that particular sub-genre of film. This one 'boasts' the talents of B-movie action man Linden Ashby alongside Rae Dawn Chong in support, the latter sporting an odd wig that makes her look just like James Earl Jones in CONAN THE BARBARIAN. The story is about a dull young blonde woman who starts dating a couple of men, one of whom might be the psycho who goes around knifing anyone connected to her. This film is slow, inept, and laughable, and even the sex scenes aren't very interesting, relying far too obviously on body doubles which stand out a mile.

Of course, I'm saying that lightly. It's actually not that bad, but it could have been better. What they do need to work on is the accessibility of this movie to others.Watched the DVD and it's the most basic dvd out there. No menu (couldn't believe that one) Standard screen no subtitles no extra's of any kind. Basically, if you find it on dvd, it's one step better than vhs, but unless you collect on a actor bases only, it's a rental only. 4/10 ps: even in this case, the dvd is better than vhs because it'll never get screwed like tapes will. Although if you smash it.. oopsy.

Pretty good murder mystery to rent on a rainy afternoon. A business woman's co-workers die one by one after she meets a mysterious stranger at a club. The club scenes were very interesting. The film does keep you guessing until the end. The only thing that bothered me was that the woman never locked her door. My husband and I were actually screaming at TV "Lock your door already!" Other than that, it kept your attention and was full of suspense. As for the acting, the killer (I won't say who it was) was very good, as was the cop. The other actors were okay. Not a bad movie overall.

Poorly written, poorly plotted, poorly acted, poorly filmed. As a matter of fact, one of the few redeeming qualities was the quality of the body-double (though the transition from actress's face to the body-double was also poorly done). I felt like I was watching some sort of corporate training video: same overall quality...same overall message.
