Chloe

I wanted to watch this because of the director, Atom Egoyan and the lead actress Julianne Moore. It also stars Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried. The easiest way to describe it is sort of a "Fatal Attraction" with the genders reversed and a healthy dose of Oedipal overtones. In some respects it's much of a piece with the sort of B-movies that Shannon Whirry and Shannon Tweed made back in the late eighties/early nineties. So in that respect Julianne Moore is slumming quite a bit but people have to eat I guess.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
