âFataleâ (Thriller: 1 hour, 42 minutes)
Starring: Hilary Swank, Michael Ealy and Mike Colter
Director: Deon Taylor
Â
Movie Review:Â âFataleâ is a psychological thriller except nothing much exists that is cerebral. Instead, this screenplay appears like a quick Sunday movie on the Lifetime channel.
After a one-night stand in Las Vegas, Derrick Tyler (Ealy), a married businessman, and Detective Valerie Quinlan (Swank) thought they would not meet again. Later in Los Angeles, Quinlanâs investigation of a break-in at Tylerâs house leads to an uncomfortable association between the adults. Tyler soon finds he is entangled with Quinlan in a grave scandal.
