Title: yet another adaptation of Les Liaisons Dangereuseset - not the best one at that
Review: A Cruel Intentions/Dangerous Liaisons story, this is yet another adaptation of the novel Les Liaisons Dangereuseset. This movie is set in Baroque France about a pair of former lovers scheming to destroy an innocent girl, a married woman, and a few aristocrats. Annette Bening is downright evil, but rightfully spectacular, however, Colin Firth is the one to watch in this film. In the last decade, Firth has become typecast as a brooding gentleman, and is constantly replaying his portrayal of Mr. Darcy; it follows, that to see him in any other role, one must turn to his earlier work and find much broader, darker, more challenging performances (such as the one in this film, in his portrayal of the title character).
Is the review positive or negative?
