roliver-2 Review of Irresistible

Irresistible (2006)

Quite entertaining, not great - see why it went to video.

[6/10 · 30 September 2006]

Rented this one because Susan Sarandon and Sam Neill were in the cast. Took a chance because could not see much else. The movie was reasonably entertaining but Sarandon who I almost always like did not seem at her best. A couple of times she was not convincing at all - most unlike her. Sam Neill had a pretty undemanding role as the husband and of course he did fine. Emily Blunt, with her scary eyes, may have been the most interesting and convincing as Neill's work mate and the "mystery woman". Part of the surprise ending was apparent well before the end so that took some of the suspense away but at the very end there clearly is in the "Fatal Attraction" style, a final surprise on top of the other surprises. Well my wife and I (in spite of watching the last 5 minutes twice) could not understand it so if anyone can really do a "spoiler" and let me know what the real "shocking revelation" was - we would love to know!!!
