It's almost impossible to think that a business woman like Kate Grayson can pick up the stranger that throws himself at her car and bring him home to recuperate at a guest cottage. Kate and her detective boyfriend, Ben, don't' have the same views when it comes about letting Gil, the creepy stranger, staying at her beautiful home. Gil, the wounded drifter, we realize, has an agenda of his own.
"The Stray", a thriller directed by Kevin Mock, has elements of other, better made films. The problem seems to reside in the screen play by Terry Cunningham, which doesn't make much sense in the way it was written. Fans of the the mystery genre will have it figured out before its conclusion.
The film suffers because of the way Michael Madsen was made to portray his character, Ben, who is the love interest of Kate. Mr. Madsen, an actor who can project intensity, is not believable as the detective at the center of the story. He gives a by-the-numbers performance here. Angie Everhart, a beautiful woman, plays Kate. Stefan Lysenko is the evil Gil.
