Fascination

I am trying to think of some redeeming qualities for this film but I can think of none. The acting is mediocre, the script senseless, the music unbearable and the scenery mundane for Florida. The plot has obvious holes, needless additions and incomplete tangents. The plot twists are comparable to pushing a grocery cart up and down a supermarket's aisles.

I thought I was renting a thriller and ostensibly, that was the project's ambition. You know the type: X kills Y but makes it look like an accident and then marries Z to get the money, or some such. 'Double Indemnity', 'Body Heat', 'Matchstick Men' are examples from different eras. In the case of 'Fascination', there is a wide gulf (no, an ocean) between ambition and final result. You can also forget the allusions to sexual passion. This is no 'The Postman Always Rings Twice'.

I give this movie a rating of two stars out of humane sympathy, and because you get to see Jacqueline Bisset light up a few cigarettes. We don't see Bisset much in movies any more and cigarettes about as often.

If you like watching F grade movies this may be the right one for you. I'm all for independent film making, but they should be good independent movies. The acting is horrific and the script just has too many holes in it to allow you to get into the film. Momentum is lost at almost every scene change. A great idea, but obviously not enough time or $$$ to make it what it should have been.

Does the film qualify for distribution?? I don't think so.

If you are looking for a good thriller with suspense, mystery, ACTING!!, try taking a look at "BLINK" (no pun intended). Another movie to watch would be "SLIVER".

A great DVD cover and a good storyline on the back of it was enough to fool me into buying it.So in case you have bought it and have not yet seen it then let it be that way. The complicated relations remind me of cheap B grade thrillers where double crosses are inevitably followed by a triple cross.The acting was below average and Alice Evans in particular was horrible.The way she talked with that twangy accent( don't know where that comes from but I am sure it was unintentional on her part) was really awful.Too few characters and too much complicity for a storyline which ain't fit even for an amateur movie. Klaus Menezel should stop directing movies if this is what he is good at.

I gave this film the vote of 4, basically for its music, otherwise it felt like watching some cheap Australian soap...

I could not see any clever twist in Fascination. It was one disaster after another with two absolutely opposite endings ...

The film was patchy with all sorts of obvious conspiracies loosely arranged to get something together.

Yes, an unhappy wife, a seemingly disloyal husband, an affair and behind all a mastermind to use people's emotions for personal aims are all we have seen before and we all know about the thin line between love and hate.

All the way through this movie I watched scenarios that I had seen before on other films and so I had this sense of Deja Vu all the time.

I really should have checked IMDb before watching this mess. It is a bad movie. Direction and writing is very amateurish. There are shots of the rainbow above the sea. Was that supposed to be symbolic or did the director just put it there because it looked nice? There are several plot holes and the characters are badly written. Adam Garcia takes his shirt off more than he acts. Alice Evans seems to show potential but this half-baked role does nothing to confirm. Stuart Wilson is very bad too. The only one who did act is Jacqueline Bisset. Why is this woman doing terrible movies? 'Fascination' may qualify as soft-core (even though the love-scenes were very unconvincing). It is quite a waste of time and should have been rightfully called 'Unfascination'.
