The erotic thriller dies another day in this padded, dull adaptation of the 1987 classic for Paramount+.
There are savings on everyday items you already buy, and savings on the things you’ve been waiting for a sale on to spoil your pet with.The narrative comes in fractured form: In an apparent attempt to dress up a story that’s literally dead on arrival, we get a bombardment of timelines. The show opens at Dan’s parole hearing after being convicted of second degree murder. He later swears to his daughter Ellen that he didn’t kill Alex, that he just had to say so in order to be released.
And they do so in a needlessly convoluted manner. The constant hopping around to flashback within flashback only gives the impression of tight pacing. The actual effect can be confusing, if you’re invested enough to be confused. The main visual contrasts between the past and present are the puffiness of Jackson’s hair and his use of a Palm Pilot.
