Director Adrian Lyne, the maker of the sexy-romance films, scored another hit with audiences in this sexy thriller. Poor Michael Douglas thought he'd have an impulsive quickie roll n the hay with sexy Glenn while very beautiful wife, played by Anne Archer, away for one night. Boy, did he pick the wrong woman as Close chews up the screen with revenge to hang on to him. Director Lyne has great tense scenes of the escalating violence by the insane Close, one of Glenn Close's best roles after "Dangerous Liaisons". Grade: 7/10 B | | Static Link |

Soon after their affair Michaels character wants to go back to his married life, but Glenn close has become obsessed with MIchael and wont leave him and family alone. Glenn Close gives a astonding performance as the mentally obsessed woman. I think she should have one an oscar for that performance. Michael Douglas also gives a great, great performance. Just an excellent cast. Great film 8/10 | | Static Link |
| Posted by: elpachio at December 8, 2001, 9:49 am | | Topic: Reviews: Fatal Attraction Forum: JoBlo | For a 1987 movie, this thriller is "cutting-edge" - still fresh today........
And the lead actors are superb. I am not a huge fan of Glenn Close but she is perfect as the scorned woman. She is very very foxy and oozes sex appeal in this film (unlike her other roles since) - she is fabulous and by far the star of the film. I have to say I consider those sex scenes as the most erotic in movie history - I still find them compelling, and find myself totally allured by Close. The ending is the only drawback in what was otherwise a great film. A limp and cliched ending................. but still a real shock horror thriller. Phew!! | | Static Link |

As it is, the story is going along just fine, when it abruptly goes overboard and gets a bit wild. Still, it's very well acted and undeniably compelling. 6/10. | | Static Link |
