Jeroen Krabbe is terrific as the intended fourth, a broken-down bisexual writer who is pulled into Soutendijk's web like an unsuspecting fly. Bloody and erotic, De Vierde Man will also interest fans of director Paul Verhoeven, who returned to many of the same themes in his smash American hit Basic Instinct. ~ Robert Firsching, Rovi

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
This highly-charged, beautifully crafted, heavily symbolic homoerotic thriller is stunning -- as stunning today as it was when it electrified audiences 23 years ago.

Dan Jardine, Apollo Guide
This interesting film disintegrates into silly excess, but has much to recommend, including the terrific performance of Jeroen Krabbe.
