Review of Fatal Attraction (1987) by Jens T — 30 Jul 2011

Fatal Attraction is what one can call one of the essential, thrillers about the insanity that refuse to let go of the one thing that makes one complete, no matter what it takes. This is the story about the successful Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas), who has a good paid job as a attorney, a beautiful wife (Anne Archer), one daughter and a dog.

One weekend his wife and daughter visits her parents. Well lets say, a man gets lonely and Dan meets a women named Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) who'm he have a one night stand with, but it's seems like Alex took this as a beging a start on a fresh relationship, and she begins to do everthing to getting him and her together for all eternity, and she will do every, I mean every thing to get what she wants.

It's a reason it's called Fatal Attraction. There's no doubt that Fatal Attraction is a good thriller, with the right music, the right psyco. But the thing I didn't like was that the writters chosed to involve a dog.

I'm a dog person, and I can't stand, having animals involved in a bloody thriller, just horrifying. I want to follow the plot, I don't want to be scared for the dog all the time. It's cruel.

Besides that it's the perfect 80's thriller. Thumbs Up.
