Killing Me Softly

Actors:  Heather Graham, Joseph Fiennes, Natascha McElhone, Ullrich Thomsen
Rating:  4 out of 10, This came as part of a double feature DVD with another movie I wanted and I can see why it was relegated to B-Side anonymity.  It’s terrible.  The unintentional comedy level is through the roof though and that (along with Ms Graham’s not inconsiderable charms on full display) made it watchable.  It aimed for lofty erotic thriller status but the two leads fail miserably, burdened by that laughably bad script referenced above.  Graham spends the entire movie looking confused and Fiennes tries to get by with just being intense.  I can see why Graham never made the transition out of supporting roles, she’s just not up to carrying a whole movie. A spectacular chest will only get you so far.
MVP:  Ms Graham’s shirt which spends most of the movie discarded on the floor
