Dangerous Attraction Reviews

Following a bust-up with Phillip Broger (Paul McGillion), fast-rising executive Alison Davis (Andrea Roth) swears off relationships altogether. Prompted by her pansexual boss Ann Rich (Rae Dawn Chong), Alison goes slumming at a meat rack called "Pork." In the boardroom, she may dominate her resentful chauvinist co-workers, but inside the singles club, Alison meets a randy stranger named Neil (Linden Ashby) who quickly introduces her to the pleasures of sexual submission. If she were sensible, Alison would be dating Dan Patterson (Linden Ashby), the teddy bear accountant at work. Instead, she prefers nasty Neil, although she can't help noticing his striking resemblance to Dan. But when Alison's co-workers start biting the dust, she begins to fear that her newfound erotic pleasure comes at too high a price. In the cinematic history of dual deceptions, this flop earns a special prize for obviousness. Unable to morph from meek to menacing, Ashby fails to convince viewers that he's two different people; he has enough trouble playing one character credibly. Frankly, only a blind person would fail to see through this flimsy doppleganger, which may explain why the screenplay endeavors to pump up its deflated mystery with superficial psychological nuances. Because it's so obvious that Neil and Dan are one and the same, the audience is forced to shout half-hearted warnings at Alison who's clearly in need of some fashionable eyewear.
