Customer Reviews of Consenting Adults
Putrid Use disc as a coaster. Everyone involved should be ashamed of themselves. This is one of the worst films ever made...And not in a good way.
The real mystery - how a great storyline died!
Like so many films these days you sit through the first third or even two thirds and your'e absolutely gripped only to be let down by a banal, predictable ending.
This movie starts off brilliantly and keeps up the pace and tension for up to two thirds of the film. In fact, I have seen so many films lately that lose the plot after half an hour, Consenting Adults, can be recommended on this alone!
Back to the film. Suddenly two thirds of the way through a superb film is butchered. A tense, emotional drama is replaced but a non-sensical murder mystery.
The two questions that kept coming into my head after Kline is framed for Murder. Does the criminal justice system in America really let a man who is about to stand trial for a brutal murder out on bail? Do they then let him wander, unsupervised, wherever he pleases?
My final film summary first two thirds of the movie - excellent last third - don't even bother to play. Stop the tape and return it to the video shop. If you don't you'll just be bitter, let down and very, very dissapointed!
Runs Out of Steam and Logic
This movie started out great the way it established the growing friendship between two very different couples and then moved into a murder mystery. The acting was first-rate (with the exception of Rebecca Miller -- can we say boring?) but then the plot defied logic. For example: Kevin Kline's character doesn't realize that he is not having sex with the neighbor's wife but with a "stand-in"? When Kevin Spacey's character confirms his wife's death in Savannah with the police, the police do not think to ask: "Hey, didn't you already report her death a few months ago?" Further, it is completely unrealistic that a shattered Kevin Kline's wife would have so immediately taken up with Kevin Spacey. By the time the film ended, it felt like a comedy, it was so ridiculous!
