Watch The Right Temptation For Free

Very Cool!!!

A different way of telling a story

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

As IMDb seem to have misplaced my first review for this picture (silly them), I shall try again. I confess, this might be a little difficult having seen the movie once and some time ago but I shall try my best. The gap between film viewing and film reviewing might not be so bad if "The Right Temptation" was in any way memorable. But it isn't at all so please bear with me.Rebecca DeMornay plays an ex-cop with issues (and which law enforcement officer worth their wage doesn't have issues?) who is hired by the wife of Kiefer Sutherland (played by Dana Delany) to spy and flirt with her husband, as a test of loyalty. You needn't be a rocket scientist to work out that the whole thing gets out of hand and DeMornay ends up bedding Sutherland (all together now, "eeuuuew!"). But before you can say "no-nudity clause", a murder throws her life out of control. Yes, it really is that dull. And despite thinking that it's a classic piece of film noir, this is little more than a glorified TVM with a few big names in the cast to justify the budget.Acting is decidedly suspect, especially from Sutherland as the dumb sap involved with both women. He must give thanks every day that "24" came along to rescue his career from dross like this. DeMornay, to be fair, was getting long in the tooth by this stage and I certainly can't remember anything she's done more recently than this. The film is boring in the extreme - most wildlife documentaries are more interesting than this movie. And they're also just as predictable - it's almost as though the film makers were so scared of upsetting anybody that they ended up making the most middle-of-the-road thriller you can imagine. It's the movie equivalent of Katie Melua - safe, sterile and utterly uninvolving. Avoid.

True 50's style, hard-boiled pulp fiction with a up to date spin. I don't agree with the reviewers that mentioned the paraffin test. She opened the breach of a-just- fired-shotgun and handled the spent shell. You would have gunpowder all over you hands from doing so and thus fail a paraffin test. Maybe the movie is just a bit smarter than some of the people that right these reviews! It was a fun cable movie. and didn't need to be much more.

I saw this movie, on cable, late at night. That, alone, should tell you something. This movie reads like pulp fiction, true. But, that's really all it is. You can tell by the title that it isn't Casablanca. It isn't Gone With the Wind. It isn't even Shawshank Redemption. It's *the right temptation*!!! The word "temptation" should tell you that it's not an oscar winner, folks. So, understanding that it is really nothing more than a romance novel bred with a crime drama...I enjoyed it (A LOT!). There is so much sexual tension in this movie, and the characters are insanely complex. I enjoyed some of the unique bits in this movie; for example, the starlets aren't 18...they actually have a few lines on their face. The lead character also has a pet pig. More than anything I wanted to stand up for Kiefer Sutherland in this movie. I became a fan of his only because of his acting in this film...it's so moving. During a very emotional part of the movie, he started welling up with tears and was so damn moving that I started CRYING (something that I do NOT do at movies...ever). He did a really good job, as did everyone in this movie. The script was cheesy and very pulpy...but if you like corny lines delivered by good actresses/actors, you'll love this movie.

This movie had the potential to be very interesting despite a poor performance by Kieffer Sutherland. The plot leave viewers in suspense until about ten minutes before it ended and then it just fizzled out. Either script writers and directors are ignorant of paraffin tests or they just ignore them. As a result the story gets forced into an unrealistic ending. The ending is hackneyed lacking any originality.Rebecca De Mornay was a good selection for her role but her acting could have been better.
