40Nearly everything about Fascination feels overdone. At its delirious worst, it's as pungent a Parisian cheese shop, offering a cornucopia of laughable scenes.
-
30The sort of soft-core, erotic thriller that would benefit from a lot more trash and a lot more sex.
-
20The less said about the story's twists and turns the better, except to warn that they become increasing preposterous with each passing minute.
-
20So tedious is Fascination that the plot, the embittered characters and, yes, the sexuality are merely insipid.
-
20It plays like a soft-core-porn potboiler left over from the 1970s about a hot vampire chick.
-
12I'm afraid this is one of THOSE movies, one where ''plot" is another word for ''gratuitous sex scene."
-
10Avoiding this lump of low-camp lion poo couldn't be easier, what with MGM dumping it into a lone Manhattan venue, but if you're in the mood for some unscripted belly laughs or a catnap, Fascination should do the trick.
-
10A stupendously torpid thriller without a single redeeming quality.
-
10Glacially paced, self-consciously acted and narratively risible.
