'Consenting Adults' is the kind of 90s film that I usually love and wish they made more of today. This one I just could not connect with however. Even Kevin Spacey, who was one of my favourite actors back in the day, just kind of annoyed me more than anything.
The set up in the film seems to take a very long time and it is not interesting at all. Extremely bland characters play a big factor in this. The film is humourless, dull and lacking any X-factor whatsoever.
Then the main event of the film happens and things do pick up a little. The characters remain dull - and make some bizarre decisions - but at least the story feels like it is moving forward.
Everything just feels a little by the book. There's nothing here that separates the film from the myriad of similar films the 90s produced. This isn't one to rush out and see. 6/10.
