Let's be honest: the only reason why men watch this movie is because Denise Richards and Neve Campbell are in it. Too bad for the girls, although I guess they don't mind Matt Damon is in it as well. Isn't there another reason to watch this movie then? Well, I don't think it will be the story, because there are so many twists in it that it is almost impossible to keep following it. The only other reason I can come up with to watch this movie must be the many erotic scenes (Richards and Campbell kissing in the pool and in a car, a threesome between Campbell, Richards and Damon,...).
Wild Things is about Kelly Van Ryan (Denise Richards), a rich snob, who accuses the school guidance counselor, Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon) of raping her. The police starts an investigation and they soon find another victim. Suzie Toller (Neve Campbell) is a poor, drug using girl that lives in a trailer. She attends the same school and she claims to be raped by Lombardo as well. However, during the trial she appears to be lying. She admits that it is just a trick to punish Mr. Lombardo because he has let her down once and that Van Ryan is in it as well.
So far so good, but then the movie starts to twist and turn so often that it makes it very hard to keep understanding what is actually happening. All the good people appear to be bad; the victims are in a conspiracy with the criminal, but so are many other people; murders are being committed like if it is nothing... It's just one huge mess. I guess the only reason why people keep watching until the end is because they are expecting even more steaming sex scenes.
All in all it was a very promising movie, but the many twists just made it too complicated and unbelievable. On the other hand, I'm only a man with a healthy dose of hormones... I give this movie a 6/10. It's the best I can do.
