It's easy to identify the biggest attraction of Killing Me Softly: two fetching actors (Heather Graham, Joseph Fiennes) and lots of nudity--especially in the unrated version. It's harder to choose the bigger liability: the dialogue howlers (as Fiennes binds Graham in ropes, she says, "Sometimes I feel like I don't know you") or the incredibly obvious solution to the big mystery. The story is an unofficial update of Hitchcock's Suspicion: a new wife wonders whether her unbelievably charismatic husband might be a murderer. The Chinese filmmaker Chen Kaige (Farewell My Concubine) turns out to be exactly the wrong director for this overheated slice of l'amour fou in London, but with the hopeless pairing of Graham and Fiennes as the passionate lovers, he didn't have much of a chance. A nicely romantic Patrick Doyle score is the only reason not to hit the Mute button and enjoy the visuals. --Robert Horton




Rating: - Heather Graham almost makes this worthwhile -- but doesn't
Heather Graham was, as always, incredibly sexy in this film.

But alas, I agree with other reviewers who noted the plot here is rather thin. And the demands on the actors' talents are not very high.

And for me, the denouement left me unclear about just who had done just what, as explanation of the mysteries that develop in the course of the story. This in particular left me unsatisfied. (And the only possible explanations are not especially satisfying, even if I knew which ... Read More

She tracks him down and they have hot sex a couple of times, and Alice quickly ditches her sweet boyfriend who wanted to marry her. The English boyfriend seems like someone who really cares about her ... Read More

Rating: - Killing Me Softly, DVD
This movie ranks at the top of one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The plot sounded interesting, but the lead actress was blank. She lacked character...it was embarrassing to watch her. Her lines were stupid...actually comical! The lead actor was quite believable; unfortuately,that was not enough to carry this movie!

Do not waste your money by purchasing this movie!
