عرض غير لائق

I saw this movie for the first time in a lockdown evening in 2020. The cast is great : Redford, demi Moore and Harralson and the question for the story is easy: how many moneys for a night with your wife? But there is nothing else....

A ludicrous plot (who would go to Las Vegas to make money?), the absence of suspense for the first long hour of the movie (I guess everyone watching the film only did so to know whether she would say yes to the billionaire's vest): what will it take to do a remake without misogynism and involving the two men?

The onscreen talent carry it tremendously. 'Indecent Proposal' is a film that takes itself too seriously, which is a surprise given its ludicrous plot. It could've worked better as a comedy. Anyway, while viewing I was expecting/hoping for a moment of true drama that would set things alight, but it just waltzes through its 117 minute run time with little surprise and interest. Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson and Robert Redford do make events much more enjoyable than they ought to be, though. I liked their performances. Noteworthy, also, to see Oliver Platt and, minorly, Billy Bob Thornton. It is pretty meh, but thanks to the main trio it's just narrowly a good watch.
