Wild Things
A seemingly virtuous high school guidance counselor, Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon), is accused of raping students Kelly (Denise Richards) and Suzie (Neve Campbell). Ken Bowden (Bill Murray), an oddball attorney, and Detective Ray Duquette (Kevin Bacon) come to Lombardo's aid, unraveling a much larger blackmail scheme involving some of the town's least suspicious residents.
WILD THINGS, a veering, breakneck ride, proved surprisingly successful at the box office. It features director John McNaughton's (HENRY PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER, NORMAL LIFE) best talents: sinuous, layered storytelling, racy cinematography, and shocking plot twists. Richards and Campbell sizzle on the screen as they tease, seduce, and entrap. Lying somewhere between black comedy and psycho thriller, WILD THINGS is an unclassifiable, unforgettable original.

Convoluted courtroom thriller that plays games with an audience's expectations, but not well enough to capture its interest.

Utter tosh
Complete and utter nonsense. Reviews seem to be divided and I come down heavily on those who think this is tosh. How many absurd twists can one film have? This ... read more »

Truly awful
Dreadful plot, twists within twists cliche and wooden acting. Couldn't believe I watched it to the end. A real turkey in my opinion.
