Respected director Chen Kaige's first English-language film is a spectacularly misguided erotic thriller, with ludicrous plot twists and cringe-worthy dialogue. Read critic reviews

Heather Graham and Joseph Fiennes star in the erotic psychological thriller Killing Me Softly. Based on a bestselling novel, a woman has a chance encounter with a mountain climber that leads to a passionate affair, but before long she starts to receive mysterious letters warning her that her lover is not the man that she thinks he is. Graham and Fiennes have no chemistry together, which is detrimental to the film. And the script does a rather poor job at developing the mystery and suspense; so much so that the twists and reveals have no impact. Still, there's some intrigue to the story, and a few tense moments here and there. A poorly made film, Killing Me Softly is ineffectual and formulaic.

Well, I had to review this film like this, whether the plot was the most sophisticated thriller, or whether the love scenes were copied from another film it was beside the point. Every woman would like to meet a man like Joseph Fiennes' character and be swept off her feet and have great sex and all the attention in the world. I think most of those who did not like the film must be men cause they know, they' don't have the guts to be a man like that... ( i m kidding) well, I recommend this film as a truly romantic love story and the kinky sex was also not the point of the story. Girls, u will really love this film and Joseph Fiennes is, of course wonderfully gorgeous and convincing and lovable in every scene, and Heather Graham was beautiful. The wedding night idea was absolutely brilliant. ( hi hi )

I just simply hate it. I already know who was the killer from the middle of the movie. What. The. Fuck.!?

Apparently it's legal to brutalize thiefs in england. And apparently Joseph Fiennes thinks it scares us if he glares at the cast and camera for 15 seconds before saying every line of dialogue he has. Silly movie.
