A new 'Fatal Attraction' is definitely aware of your critiques of the original
Joshua Jackson and Lizzy Caplan and star in an uninspired reboot of the 1987 thriller — which tries really hard to mount an enlightened case for its existence.
Fatal Attraction, Adrian Lyne's 1987 blockbuster that spawned an untold number of pre-Internet memes and feminist theory academic papers, ostensibly concludes with the hetero nuclear family restored to its "natural" state: The manic, very unwell homewrecker Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) has been shot dead out of self-defense by Beth (Anne Archer), the wronged wife of Alex's one-time fling Dan Gallagher (Michael Douglas). The final scene has police taking Dan's statement and an image of a family portrait of the Gallaghers with their young daughter.
But an eight-episode series "reimagining" of the movie, created had to atone for his affair gone awry?
