Why watch this?
If you are a married man, this film will keep you married.
Plot Summary: A
seemingly happily married lawyer has a one-night stand with a
sultry woman, Alex, he meets through work. He believes it to be
a fleeting encounter, but she harbors a different view and
refuses to let their affair end. Her obsession escalates into
increasingly dangerous and threatening behavior, putting his
life and family in jeopardy.
Dad's Preview:
This is the worse-case
scenario for men who cheat on their wives. I could not believe
that innocent, plain Glenn Close could transform into Alex, a
foxy seductress. After a brief affair, she is jilted. Her
heartbreak
turns her into an obsessive, insane stalker. Michael Douglas is
also awesome as the cheater, who, after the initial mistake,
just wants it to end and go away. Alex, however, will not be
denied, with disastrous results. Just remember to pass on the rabbit
stew.
