    A rubbish 90's thriller that fails to capture the classic noir style it sets out to achieve. Really quite boring.

    Insurance scam movie where a con man frames his neighbour for the death of his wife.

    This movie was just not quite as enjoyable as I'd expected it to be. It's got an interesting plot about swingers and a twist where Spacey's wife ends up dead after Kline sleeps with her. A great performance from Spacey, but...check this out...it seems like Kline actually phoned i...( read more)n his performance here. Yes, Kline didn't seem too interested in this and I don't blame him. Not as good as it could have been. Thanks to my mother, as well, for ruining this movie for me before I even watched it.

    Consenting Adults isn't the worst sleazy thriller to come out in its era, but it is one of the most feebleminded.

    This "thriller" did its job....it completely freaked me out. I highly recommend it, if you want to be creeped out.

    Lots of twists and was better than I thought it would be.
  • December 12, 2008
    A some-what smart idea, which requires an incredibly dull first half of the film to set up. The second half was a study in impossibilities, and a test to see how vapid Kevin Kline can be. With such an all-star cast I definitely expected better, although its obscurity was a clue t...( read more)hat it wasn't really going to turn into much. Kevin Spacey is the only one here that really stands out; Kline and Mastrantonio just fade into the background. Forest Whitaker was solid, but just wasn't important enough to the film to be much help. All-in-all, a pretty half-assed thriller.

    An ok movie but nothing great. Worth seeing though for the cool twists in it.
