Good movie. I'm not knocking it. It's engrossing, it's rich in characters, it's just fun. Do you think we could have done without all the twists? At the time, it was just a sexy shocker, but once you were done watching it, the fun is over. Unless you were going to watch it again with someone else, just to see the shocked look on their face after one crazy twist is revealed after another, it just wasn't anything to write home about. Meaning, if you look back on it, you know you had a great time watching it, but when you look back on it, you can't deny that this is all very silly, very ridiculous, and just goes way too over the top. Story centers around a girl who accuses an older man of sexually assaulting her. From there, it just escalates into insanity, as the movie becomes more and more twisted, revealing more and more unbelievable twists and turns, that it gets to the point where by the time you are expecting the next twist, you're just thinking " GET THE (****) OUT OF HERE!" Bottom line: The movie lives up to its name. I would average this to be a 6.7 star film, I would love to round it off to 7, but certain factors that I cannot specify here, because it would ruin the film for you, I can only say that I am giving it 6 stars, as a few things dragged the rating down for me. ( After you're done watching, you will understand. Ending is satisfying, but....you will understand.)

Saw some plot twists coming. Missed others. Maybe it was because there couldn't be another one coming. Nope, there was. When it was over I wondered if the screenplay was written on the fly. Despite all the flaws, the movie was entertaining. It would be hard not to be with all that eye candy.

'Wild Things' is a classic. It deserves its top marks. Of course, in the history of cinema it probably won't be talked about in the same terms as other 'classics,' such as The Godfather and Empire Strikes Back. 'Wild Things' is a different type of film for a different type of audience.It's a twisty-turny thriller where you can't really say too much about the plot without giving away important information that is best left kept secret until you actually watch it. Basically, it involves plenty of glamorous (and murderous!) back-stabbing, by beautiful people in beautiful locations. If you've watched the trailer (and I suggest you don't, seeing as that too gives away more than you really need to know) then you'll see that there's a strong 'sexual element' to it. Therefore, critics can easily dismiss the film as just some (slightly classier) p0rn and leave it at that.Yes, sex is an important part of 'Wild Things,' but, like I say, it's so much more than that. Matt Dillon, Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell are all great, but, for me, the stand-out performances come from Denise Richards and Bill Murray. Murray normally turns in an excellent performance in whatever he does, so you'll probably expect it from him. However, since Wild Things, Denise Richards has taken more than her fair share of criticism concerning her acting abilities. I can tell you though she shines here (and I'm not just talking 'visually!') and even gets what I would say is the best line of the film – something about 'taking the car,' but you'll have to watch the film to see the context she uses it in.If you're not offended by plenty of sex in a film and you like your films with more plot twists in than a filmic corkscrew, then give Wild Things a go. Just be sure to sit through the credits for added scenes which explain a lot of what's happened (when I first saw this in the cinema, I noticed that some people actually left the moment the screen went black – they really missed out!). Also, don't watch the sequels – I mean it – just don't. They're basically the same film, only done worse and if you've seen the original you'll have seen it much better.

A police detective uncovers a conspiracy behind a case involving a high-school guidance counselor when accusations of rape are made against him by two female students.While this film is perhaps not as critically-acclaimed as the crime comedy "Mad Dog and Glory", this is the more satisfying McNaughton police story, with a great mystery and more intrigue. You never really know who is working with who until the very end.The DVD commentary pays close attention to all the attempts to have beautiful lighting and backgrounds. There are a few behind the scenes tips, such as the use of cardboard where more expensive visuals would be no better. We even find out that one scene is actually an homage to "Red River", which you might never have figured out.
