Cruel Intentions (2019)

nothing surprising. only decent acting, young actors, the old novel, a new frame. and, maybe, nothing more. result- a nice version, more seductive for young public . short, a cool film. and this could be a real great virtue ( of you do not ignore the sensuality of Ryan Philip).

Man, this movie is just a punch to the heart. Can you just imagine both the guy's situation, and the girls's at the end after he gets hit by the car. Dudes step sister try to set him up and everything. All for her own selfish wants. All she ever was is a drug addict, spoiled, and manipulative b*tch. The ending of this movie is a series of serious punches to the heart. It starts at the beginning of the funeral, and gets progressively harder after "The Verve" starts playing bittersweet symphony, after the speech dudes step sister is giving. the guy that died had a journal filled with horrible stuff she did. It was written by his love, who is now living without him.I tried to make as such sense as I could, but it's one of those reviews you have to spoil in order to do, but you don't want to at the same time. The pain in this movie is a unique experience, and the revenge by the girl at the end IS bittersweet. I shed a tear during this, and movies hardly EVER make me cry. I gave this movie a perfect 10... I hardly ever give perfect 10 ratings. man the ending is one of the best endings I have ever experienced.

Two wealthy step-siblings of an elite Manhattan prep school make a wager: to de-flower the new headmaster's daughter (Reese Witherspoon) before the start of term.Having gone to high school in the latter half of the 1990s, this was one of those films that really defined a generation. All the big stars of the day were in it, and at least one 9Witherspoon) has one on to bigger and better things. At the time I was not aware that this was a remake of a 1980s film. I found it to be brilliant and quite deviously original.I now know that it is a remake, but think no less of it because of this. In many ways, this film is even more powerful. John Malkovich did a fine job capturing what spoiled aristocrats can do, but it is all the more troublesome what spoiled teenagers can do.

A step brother and sister make a bet to take the virginity of the headmasters daughter. This is a decent drama that holds the attention well throughout as the immoral bet takes it toll on all concerned. I wasn't particularly taken with Ryan Phillipe's performance though he does play the confident spoilt rich kid pretty well. The female leads fare better with perhaps surprisingly Sarah Michelle Gellar outperforming Reese Witherspoon though to be fair her part is the better one. I was interested to see where the plot would go and was pleased that it didn't follow a predictable path. I liked the dark ending and think it went well with the tone of the film. Although it's a bit unsubstantial to be a great film this is still an entertaining watch.
