I think that Wild Things was an excellent film. While I see movies for their plot, excitement, and drama, I was originally drawn to renting "Wild Things" by its review that I saw in my local paper (The Ann Arbor News) a few years ago... I remember that it was singled out specifically for its "graphic sexual content and violence"... I will admit, yes, this is primarily what cause me to rent the film besides my interest in all three main actors= Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, and Matt Dillon. However, this was not just some "dark porn" as I expected but rather, a fantastic and "different" film that was very very interesting...
Basically, Campbell and Richards are two high school seniors who have an interesting three-some relationship with their high school guidance counselor, Matt Dillon. He appears to be quite the stud throughout the film and there is an attraction to him by nearly every female character that he seems to meet (especially Richards's mom). After sexual encounters with Richards and Campbell, Richards is convinced by her parents to accuse Dillon of rape as a way to extort money from him... Dillon has quite the spotlight on him from the media and other high-authority figures, as a rape accusation directed towards any high school faculty these days is sure to raise some eyebrows. In the end, Richards/Campbell are really not working against Dillon but rather, they are working with him to in fact extort money from Richards's mother.... What a surprise!
There is still conflict and tension between the trio of lovers from start to finish. The ending is quite shocking and unexpected but a great conclusion to this film noir classic... This film should definitely be seen and feel free to email me with any questions or comments...
