Rebecca De Mornay Movie:

Never Talk to Strangers Reviews:
The Good & Bad
2009-03-26 -
This thriller is a bit rough-edged, but a lot of people like that sort of thing. Rebecca DeMornay was the at the top of her game around this time (early to mid '90s).

On the plus side, this is an interesting and involving story, especially in the second half of the film. The movie is capped by a surprise ending I defy anyone to guess correctly. There are a few steamy scenes, too.

The bad news is that there are no likable characters, too much profanity; a few minor holes in the story; and an obvious as sexist bias against men. DeMornay's foul mouth and morals are pretty rotten for a psychologist, the character she plays. The guys, played by Dennis Miller and Antonio Bandaras, are pretty sleazy characters, too.


Good to excellent drama & acting
2008-06-23 - Good to excellent drama & acting. All around a good flick, a little dated, but good. Enjoy.

Awful movie

How can that evil blonde woman kill her own orange cat? The dead cat looked like a silly stuffed animal with ketchup on it. Terrible effects.

By the way, the blonde lady killed the kitty and she was stalking herself cuz her daddy killed her mommy when she was little.

waste of movie.

Aghast
2007-09-22 - I knew going in, when I saw that DeMornay was the exec producer of this film, that this was going ot be good. Good, as in the thrill of bearing witness to a train wreck.

Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD) is a controversial diagnosis. Some of the worlds top shrinks don't believe in it and neither will you after watching this film.

Watch this film only if you enjoy being a spectator at car wrecks or watching amputees jump from a burning hospital.

That millions of dollars were wasted in order to pinch this loaf off is the only believable crime you will see in this film.

DOUBLE TALK
2005-09-29 - NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS is what is commonly referred to as an "erotic thriller", although it's eroticism is skimpy and the thrills don't come too often. Rebecca DeMornay (Risky Business, Trip to Bountiful) plays a repressed psychiatrist who is evaluating alleged serial killer Harry Dean Stanton to see if he should stand trial for his accused crimes. Stanton claims he is a multiple personality disorder victim and therefore can plead innocent due to insanity. DeMornay has a chance encounter with sexy Antonio Banderas and starts into a relationship with him. This alienates her best friend Dennis Miller who has been carrying a torch for DeMornay for some time. DeMornay starts receiving strange things in her mail: dead flowers, her dead cat, etc., etc., and soon it seems DeMornay may be the victim herself of a dangerous stalker. Is it Banderas? Miller? or perhaps even her estranged father (Len Cariou). Once all the secrets are peeled away, things aren't quite what they seem. While definitely not in the league of truly suspenseful films, NEVER TALK TO STRANGERS offers a sharp performance from DeMornay and Cariou particularly, and Banderas is effectively smoldering. Astute viewers, however, will see the end coming a mile away.
