Review of Bad Influence (1990) by Scott A — 23 Aug 2013

Okay thriller about a guy that basically has it all and then meets another guy that is a 'bad influence' on his life, and at one point goes off the deep end and tries to frame the original guy for everything.

Lowe is fun to watch at first, but his act seems to wear off once things get more serious. Spader is meant to be the good guy here, but at one point he seems to be just as bad as Lowe.

Lisa Zane and Marcia Cross are the best things in the movie but both are under used big time. And hey in the night club scene, don't blink or you will miss a David Duchovny siting.

Some things are set up like they will be a big plot point, Spader buying stock, but are never mentioned again and the ending seemed far too easy, while also leaving it wide open.

See if for Lowe's crass character, but the story seemed to be edited down and missing stuff.
