Terrible "Fatal Attraction" for the new millennium
12 November 2005
John Polson is quite an inept director (he also directed last year's flop Robert De Niro film, "Hide and Seek") and this 2002 venture was no change of pace for him.

Jesse Bradford stars (and I use the word "stars" rather than "plays," since his "performance" is no more than using a single facial expression for 80 minutes) as a high school jock who is seduced by Erika Christensen and then stalked by her. It's "Fatal Attraction" with teens and it's ridiculous.

The script has problems from the beginning and most of the movie is just a way of cashing in on the '80s' obsession with stalker-flicks - fortunately this helped prove definitively that their crossover into the new millennium was, shall we say, not very successful.
