Tryst (1994)

How bad is it? Failed film noir of minor interest.
Should you see it? Don't go out of your way.


Starring Barbara Carrera, David Warner and Louise Fletcher, this film tries to recreate films like "Body Heat," but doesn't really work. The abused wife of a wealthy man plans to murder her husband and falls in love with the son of the household help. People's personalities change on a whim in order to propel the plot twists. Coincidences abound. A cop gets hit by a car with no consequences. There's some titillating nudity, but also a brutal rape scene. Many of the line readings seem to be just that - someone reading their lines.
