Review of The Stray

The Stray (2000)
Great at 3AM, terrible any other time
23 December 2006
I saw this movie on The Movie Channel late one night a few years and although I expected far worse from a movie starring Angie Everhart and Michael Madsen, it was still a bad flick. I saw it 3AM and it seemed like perfect for that hour of the night, I saw parts of it again later and it was almost unwatchable. The movie starts off great, but ends up going downhill after 45 minutes or so. The main reason if you are a guy to see the movie is Angie Everhart. Other than that, it has nothing going for it. It's an okay thriller for its genre (direct-to-video and made-for-cable) yet a forgettable one. The somewhat intriguing premise is let down by poor writing and lackluster directing Perhaps another rewrite before shooting began could have made this movie something better. 3/10
