#INDECENT PROPOSAL 1993 RATING MOVIE#

Sadly, of course, the quality control doesn't last, with the tension gradually slipping away until we find ourselves, in the final, risible scene, back in unintenВtional chuckle territory. Redford, as you'd expect, is brilliant as the scheming-yet-strangely-vulnerable rich git (and one cannot help but ponder that as a millionaire divorcee living on his own in Utah, Redford must have unusual insights into this character), Moore is beautiful enough to carry off the central plot point, and even Harrelson displays something other than his usually dim berk persona by successfully playing a sensitive thinking type in little round glasses. It was directed by Adrian Lyne and stars Robert Redford, Demi Moore, and Woody Harrelson. Indeed, it is in this mid-section that the cast, director Adrian Lyne and screenwriter Amy Holden Jones conspire to present some seriously interesting emotional shenanigans, with what happened that night remaining a mystery to both the audience and hubby, and the subsequent jealousies and power struggles ringing entirely true. Indecent Proposal is a 1993 American drama film based on the novel of the same name by Jack Engelhard, in which a married couples relationship is put into turmoil by a strangers offer of a million dollars for the wife to spend the night with him.

Today I have a movie review on Indecent Proposal 1993 Starring Demi M. This is all about power and he plays the game brilliantly, driving a wedge between the loveВbirds as they decide to go for the deal ('It's just my body, it's not my heart, it's not my mind') and then watch their supposedly invincible marriage buckle under the strain. Hello Everyone, thank you for joining me for another episode of Antonios Movie Reviews.

Forget the carping that the hunksome Redford would never, in reality, have to pay for a woman.

Once our billionaire gambler (Redford) comes on to the scene with his 'indecent proposal' (one million dollars for a night with Demi), however, things brighten up considerably, with the complex emotions on display being handled with remarkВable aplomb. There have been unintentional chuckles courtesy of a silly flashback to school days (Demi's grin revealing a gobful of dental braces, Woody with a rug from hell) there have been the obligatory 'steamy' sex scenes - lots of shots of a tanned Demi in little white knickВers - to illustrate just how much they damn well fancy each other and there has been much gnashВing of teeth as the horrors of unemployment dawn. Just 15 minutes into Indecent Proposal, and things are not looking good. So, it's - rather unwisely - off to Las Vegas to try and raise the readies to fulfil that dream of a self-designed pad on the beach, or at least to keep body and soul together till the boom years return. The dog loves them both, and all is well in their comfy Californian lives until, in a spectacularly 90s-style plot development, the recession strikes and they get booted from their gainful employment as an architect (him) and estate agent (her). Armed with even better potential resources this time out, somehow Lyne can't pull this one off.Demi loves Woody. The acting is shockingly poor and the direction lacking the punch that made the aforementioned 'Fatal Attraction' a unsettling thriller.

The movie's tone flip-flops from cynical to sappy to banal and predictable, with the unsatisfying climax only adding to the letdown. Enter John Gage (Robert Redford), a billionaire who meets the couple in Vegas, as they're trying to win their lives back, and offers David a cool million in exchange for a night with his wife. Piece of cake right? Sadly, the execution is sorely lacking in 'Indecent Proposal', the story of a financially hard-up couple Diana and David (Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson) who are willing to do just about anything to keep their heads above water, monetarily that is. The ingredients seem to be in place for a solid, if not great, film: a thought-provoking premise, a decent script, a star-studded cast and the director of one of the best thrillers of the 1980s in Adrian Lyne.
