Review of Killing Me Softly

This film isn't just bad. It made me cringe. The script is grim and the direction worse. And then there are the actors. Fiennes spends the whole film glowering silently and moodily while the usually reliable Natasha McElhone is just over the top. But both of their performances are Oscar quality compared with Heather Graham. She is SO bad that during some of her intense moments I actually burst out laughing. The whole sorry mess could have limped towards mediocrity if it hadn't been for the very silly plot and the fact that the big twist was blindingly obvious half way through. Please don't waste the best part of two hoys of your life on this trash.
