Review of Eyes Wide Shut (1999) by Richard V — 27 May 2016

Stanley Kubrick's last movie was also a simple narrative, where Tom Cruise plays a doctor, and he learns that his wife - played by his then-real-life wife Nicole Kidman - once considered cheating on him.

And in the 48 hours that follows, Cruise is tempted to cheat, whether it's with a hooker or by ending up in a weird cult sex orgy attended by the power elite. Cruise is pretty amazing in this strange odyssey of temptation (though, he has this habit of flashing his doctor's license as if it was a policeman's badge).

It's interesting and maybe I'd see it again, but not anytime soon. But it's worth a watch if you're a fan of slow-paced erotic thrillers.
