"Lady Killer" is a thriller, dealing with a married woman, that has a brief affair leading into kind of stalking and finally a rape. While she tries to cope with the events, her former affair seduces her daughter and she brings him along on a family vacation, leading to grave consequences.
Unfortunately, I'm not even sure if my declaration of this film as a thriller is quite correct. The first half of this movie almost exclusively deals with the love life of the main character and includes tons of cheesy dialogues, cheap seduction and soap opera. When the action starts later in the movie, the general impression also improves a bit. While I don't have anything against romances, in fact there are great love movies, here it bothered me for two reasons. Firstly because this is not a great love movie, the dialogues and optic are rather cheap and cliché. Secondly because this movie is supposed to be a thriller and honestly a love movie isn't what anyone came for. To be fair, this still isn't a bad movie in all aspects, I liked the general plot and when the tempo increases, a bit of tension also breaks through.
But all in all there would have been potential for a lot more in this title. If you like a mixture of romance and thriller, this might be your movie. If you want to be fully caught in a movie and its events, this is maybe not exactly what you're looking for.
