Respected entertainment industry publication Variety has publicly apologised after actress Carey Mulligan called out a review of her new film Promising Young Woman which suggested she wasn t the right fit to play the movie s femme fatale lead.
Freelance critic Dennis Harvey claimed in the otherwise positive review that the film s producer, Australian actress Margot Robbie, would have been a better fit for the role, and said Mulligan looked like she was in bad drag playing Cassie, who seduces various men to seek vengeance for the sexual assault of her best friend in the acclaimed new black comedy.
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.

Fatale
Ask Deon Taylor about his favorite story about Las Vegas, and what happens in Vegas definitely stays there. I don t have any that I can tell, he laughed. I can start. I walked into a casino, but that s all your gonna get.
Not so in the director s new film,
Fatale, in which sports agent Derrick (Michael Ealy) has a misguided one night stand in Sin City with a mysterious stranger played by Hilary Swank. Their paths are set to cross again in unexpected, and deadly, ways as Derrick finds himself in the middle of a plot that could destroy his life.
