Risky Business: Review

One of the key films of the '80s. Smart, stylish and cynical about the values of its time, this movie, which catapulted Tom Cruise to stardom, aspires to be The Graduate for its generation. It comes pretty close. Left in charge while his parents go off on a trip, Cruise hires a comely prostitute (Rebecca De Mornay) who hits him with a risky business proposition: transforming his parent's house into a bordello for a night.

Milch is not known to spoon feed his viewers predictable drivel, and I, for one, wouldn't bite if he did.
