In the strange madness of relationships,we find a thrilling ride ! Close and Douglas take the viewer on a fling of emotions. A married lawyer gets... volved with a female attorney and they get \"hot and heavy\" for each other.The tables turn,when the female is obnoxious and won't stop harassment. Sciorra is amazing, as a wife who fights to save her family.Bravo to the cast ,for this love triangle ! Full Review

This is a spectacularly well-made thriller. It is an odd thing, really -- the movie is sexy and at the same time a warning about the costs of sex.Full Review

Fatal Attraction rings the changes on your atavistic emotions. Walking out of the theater, you might have a sudden desire to club a woolly mammoth and hide your family in a dark cave -- away from people like Glenn Close.Full Review
