Cruel Intentions (1999)
Intriguing and well made: a movie worth watching
I've been longing to see Cruel Intentions ever since I saw Placebo's "Every Me and Every You" video in 2000, but I only got to see it early this year (for various reasons). The movie is great: class acting (Sarah Michelle Gellar is awesome as the bad girl, Reese Witherspoon is the ultimate little angel and Ryan Philippe is perfect as the Don Juan guy), interesting plot and a soundtrack that is incredible. Some users here have said that 'Cruel Intentions' is nothing compared to 'Dangerous Liaisons' but I saw the latter a few weeks ago and in my opinions, Cruel Intentions is much better. Glenn Close plays a very good role, but doesn't seem as malicious as Gellar and the dialogs aren't as juicy, but as the action takes place in completely different ages, the discrepancies make them hard to compare. So my advice is go and watch Cruel Intentions and you won't regret it!
