Back then, the good lawyer fighting the good fight who ends up having a steamy weekend affair with the bad woman – or the career woman as we defined her back then, shudder – was regarded as “a powerful cautionary tale” (the New York Times) for married men. The original Fatal Attraction came out in 1987. One is: “What the hell is going on now?” Another is the question it thinks it’s answering by existing at all: “Is it possible to treat the sexism in an inherently sexist erotic thriller like a rotten tooth that can be extracted?” The answer in this case is no – with a side of: “And why on earth would you want to?” C ertain questions arise during the eight hours spent giving the reboot of Fatal Attraction a fair retrial.
