Ever since "Double Indemnity," the erotic thriller formula has pretty much stayed the same. Beautiful girl convinces earnest, naive man to do something terrible, then screw him over by having him take the rap. Blown Away redoes the story with teen idols as the leads. The Two Coreys and Nicole Eggert form a triangle that tries to keep you guessing who is manipulating who.
One of the many problems with this story is that it is an adult drama in which no one actually acts like an adult, including the middle-aged adolescent father to Nicole's character. Much of the dialog is silly and there are plenty of plot holes and confusing twists. However, looking back as a retro piece of b-movie trash, it does have some entertainment value. I liked the movie more before it dove into the "will-you-help-me-kill-him" cliché, and Corey Feldman does what he does best--playing the sleaziest guy in the show. The early scenes with him as a slimy ski resort worker were more interesting than most of the final third of the movie. Overall, only recommended for fans of unintentional humor and irredeemable trash.
