Alien at the Movies

Fatale

It’s “Fatal Attraction” meets “Strangers on a Train” when Derrick/Darren from Seattle takes some bad advice from a friend, only to regret his bad decision after a one night stand with Val in Vegas. Michael Ealy & Hilary Swank play Derrick & Val in this wild thrill ride with many twists & turns. Swank is brilliant as the very scary psychopathic cat who seems to relish in torturing her guilt-ridden mouse caught in her claws. Director Deon Taylor keeps us guessing where the plot is going as poor Derrick digs himself deeper & deeper into this dark hole. Although it’s pretty obvious what’s going to happen, the fun is in how they get there.

Alien gives it 3 “infidelities & fatal flaws” stars out of 4.
