THE STRAY is a low rent slice of hokum from the guys at PM Entertainment, whose standards were slipping at the turn of the millennium. It's a slow-moving mystery with some added action elements shoehorned into the storyline. The plot is about a mysterious drifter who comes to stay with a couple, played by a slumming-it Michael Madsen and the pretty Angie Everhart.
Various back stories involving the central trio of characters are eventually revealed, but the story is so long-winded that you'll be bored of the whole thing before long. The characterisation is weak and the suspense nil; the only time this gets fun is right at the climax, which has a few fun elements if you've made it that far.
