Michael Douglas (as Dan Gallagher) and Glen Close (as Alex Forrest) star in this thriller from the late 1980’s. The one with the “bunny boiler” in it! This movie starts out like most with an innocent beginning when their paths cross at a party. He is a lawyer with a wife and kid, she is a professional single woman. Glen Close is not particularly attractive in my opinion but the two of them have a connection (they fancy each other) and before you know it they are having dinner together because his wife is away so they spend the night together (as you do?). She changes herself from this person who is sexy and confident and who understands the rules to someone who is pathetic, attention seeking and psychopathic. Glen Close certainly gives you value for your money. She is actually extremely good at being evil. I’m sure she gave me nightmares back in the 80’s! Michael Douglas is also on top form in this raunchy thriller. The ending is not to be missed.
