5.0 out of 5 stars Fatal Attraction with a feminist viewpoint!, December 22, 2004

By 

Jon Nelson (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lady Beware [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Lady Beware is an interesting and imperfect film, and yet I gave it 5 stars for two reasons: the tour-de-force performance by Diane Lane and the resolution, which is refreshingly non-violent and yet still exciting. Beautifully filmed on location in Pittsburgh, this film starts off well, lags a bit about 3/4 of the way through, but then picks up again for a great finale. I love the way Michael Woods, who plays the stalker, gets uglier both physically and emotionally as the film goes on, and I also enjoy the symbolism that the female director throws into the mix. But the reason to watch this film is Diane Lane, whose rage and breakdown and ultimate victory is achingly real. She truly carries this movie.

2.0 out of 5 stars Humble Beginnings for Diane Lane, June 21, 2002

By 

Edward Lee "Trekscribbler (NCC1205)" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lady Beware [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Diane Lane stars at Katya, a window dresser for a big city department. However, her displays are borderline erotica, and she unintentionally attracts the attention of Jack, a married man who has developed an obsession with Katya as he believes her displays are speaking to him, telling him of her wanton desires for him. Inevitably, Katya tells Jack's wife about him, cracking his madness wide open into homicidal rage.

Next to some of the erotic scenery in this video flick, Diane Lane is (as always) the only thing watchable. Everything else is formula ... watered down.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good acting, poor writing, beautiful people, May 16, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Lady Beware [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I wouldn't call this movie great but it's an OK thriller. Thank goodness this movie has the beautiful Diane Lane nude but without violence. I easily give her 5 stars but the storyline barely gets 1 star for an overall average of 3. There are too many unbelievable situations here that could have played out OK with a little more character development in the writing. As it's written we are led to believe that she arrives new in town, gets off the bus at a department store, walks in with some drawings and gets the job as the window dresser. (Maybe her beauty did it). In another scene after the pervert calls her many times, breaks into her apartment, etc. etc, etc. she meets him alone on a dark railroad bridge at night to talk with him. Is this reality??? Nice acting, beautiful people, dream like photography but unreal writing summarizes this movie.
