Wild Things with its erotic overlay and a plot that has twists so numerous you would have to recapitulate for your benefit once the movie is done, reminds me of the recent Bollywood Abbas-Mustan flick Race which is another slick thriller with an implausible number of twists. It is impossible to guess at the number and the surprising points at which the twists occur - but that is hardly the point. The movie is a swish set Beverly Hills 90210 style sneak peek into glamour and intrigue not unlike a tabloid relay. Its fun, its pretty much pointless, and above all its sizzling in an obvious kind of way. Treat this post as a refreshing break from the heavy fare that precedes (and is likely to follow!)
