Product: To Die For (1995)
Rating: 4.0
Good, but sometimes it was To Die of boredom For
Nicole Kidman and Matt Dillon play their parts very well and are support by a great cast including Joaquin Phoenix and Illeana Douglas. Kidman's character quickly comes into focus as someone that most of us probably didn't like when we were in school. She lies, cheats, and panders with the best of them. Matt Dillon's role changes over time. He seems to go from a lady's man to one that is ready to make a commitment. Phoenix and Douglas fill their roles very believably. The cast was wonderful.The only reason I rated this less than excellent were problems I had with the script/editing. The movie seemed to move all over the place at points for no logical reason. Because of the somewhat jarring approach the ending seemed to be a forgone conclusion. The real thoughtful challenge was how it going to there.
