High concept Basic Fatal Instinct Attraction
- The Sequel.
Michael Douglas reprises the good-guy in bad-situation role...again
Plot Shrink Michael Douglas has eight hours
to wheedle a six-figure number out of a catatonic psychiatric
case, or his kidnapped daughter gets it.
Mikey dread Douglas has made these 'decent middle-class bloke
in a fix' roles his own, pushing aside the likes of Mel Ransom
Gibson and Harrison Frantic Ford. The only question that now remains
to be answered in every film is - how long before Michael goes
postal and gets the axe out?
Bean there, done that Sean Bean is the fresh-out-the-pen kidnapper
desperate to get his hands on the gem he stole ten years before.
Movie-hounds will recognise this glowering baddie as a reprise
of the role he played in GoldenEye.
Verdicts:
'Smart, stylish and, most important, satisfying' - Los Angeles
Times
'A Michael Douglas movie that never stops feeling like a Michael
Douglas movie, even when it ought to' - San Jose Mercury News.
