Critic Reviews:

• " Save for the horror-movie finale (which, despite being unforgettable, is something of a misstep), there's nothing too overblown or exaggerated about this harrowing duel. " – Mike Massie

• " There are so many reasons Fatal Attraction is such a great film but first and foremost is the cast. " – Allison Rose

• " Solid direction, ,thrilling set pieces, and an iconic performance from Glenn Close. It's a sleazy movie, but an extremely watchable one. The entertainment value for this one is very high. " – Austin Kennedy
