ATOM EGOYAN DIPS HIS TOE IN unusually tawdry territory in this entertaining erotic remake of French thriller Nathalie…
A startlingly sexy Amanda Seyfried stars as Chloe, an escort hired by Catherine (Julianne Moore) as a honeytrap for her husband (Liam Neeson). She wants proof that he wouldn’t act on his attraction for younger women, but her intentions become confused when Chloe returns with lurid tales that she finds oddly arousing.
This teeters on the B-movie brink, but fans of psycho-sexual boundary-pushing will be happy to tolerate its more ridiculous points. Moore and Seyfried also retain their dignity amid the kind of sexual tension Jennifer’s Body could only dream of. Maybe Seyfried’s learning on the job.
