Review of Killing Me Softly (2008) by Craig P — 16 Jan 2004

:o.

Yes, I must now confess that I had the Unrated version of [i]Killing Me Softly[/i] on my Netflix list, and watched it after [i]Solaris[/i]. Hey, my philosophical bent had been exercised during the first movie, so I figured it was time to quench my rapacious animal desires with this flick, which two letters and two words promised would be more than able to do so: "UR" and "Heather Graham".

Sad to say, far from being quenched, my animal desires remain rapacious. The sex scenes, though prolific in the first 30 minutes of the film, tend more towards the disgusting than the beautiful. And the flimsy plot is hardly enough to hold one's attention during the final sex-free 70 minutes.

Incidental note: Natasha McElhone played Heather's character's sister-in-law in this film, and also played Dr. Kelvin's wife in the 2002 version of [i]Solaris[/i]. Weird.
