Lethal Woman: Interesting twist on the classic at least
23 May 2019
Lethal Woman is an adaptation of The Most Dangerous Game (1932), but oh boy is it a loose one.

It tells the story of a soldier who is raped by her commanding officer. When he is found innocent in a court of law and betrayed by the man she loves she finds herself going down a very dark route in the name of redemption.

The classic tale of hunting people is present but takes a bit of a backseat and ultimately the more you think about the concept the more absurd it gets. Seriously, watch the movie and then think about the way the "Encounters" play out. It's ridiculous.

Starring erotic thriller veteran Shannon Tweed she almost makes it through the film without exposing herself, almost.

It's a passable enough attempt but as an adaptation of a superior film it falls somewhat flat. It struggles to find its identity, it's not action packed, it's not dramatic and for those wondering since it's a Tweed movie it's not even sexy.

Not the worst adaptation, but certainly a shameless one.

The Good:

Interesting twist

The Bad:

Rather flat

A bit silly
