Fatale Is Not Just Another Fatal Attraction Movie
Over the weekend, my wife and I decided to have a date night. I picked out a movie and we had a nice dinner before it started. I have been following movie Director Deon Taylor for awhile. He has helmed a pretty great cataloge of movies including
The Intruder,
Meet The Blacks, and
Black and Blue. All of these movies touch on a different genres and it shows the diversity that he has.
Fatale is his latest movie. It had limited release in the theaters and surpassed expectations of many during these times. I have to admit, I was wondering what the movie would be like. I knew the premise of the movie was a guy had an affair on his significant other and the melee would ensue. Much to my surprise, the movie was a little bit more than I thought.
Hilary Swank and Michael Ealy head the cast of the new dramatic thriller, Fatale. She s in law enforcement. He s a successful businessman. And you know that clever ad campaign, What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas? Yeah.no it doesn t.at least not in this movie.
In Fatale, Swank plays a police detective who surprise ends up on a case at the home where Ealy s character lives with his wife. When you have an opportunity to make films like Fatale, which are throwbacks to, you know, Fatal Attraction and Basic Instinct and Strangers on a Train and when you get to do it with your twist for this era, it s fun, man! said director Deon Taylor.
