      dogpetdog Okkkkkkkay, so the last half feels like a TV movie that plays out like some bad soap opera. SO what? Before kevin kline's life gets derailed it's a real interesting movie. Everybody gives a good performance but somehow when the story starts unraveling it wasn't enough you'd really want to see it again. It's just your typical good guy turned bad psychological thriller with one man trying to get his life back. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/23 Full Review Bruce C Top notch cast and acting chops rocking the film. Spacey is particularly fab as Eddie. Slick script and good pace throughout. Loved it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/19/23 Full Review Trish WHERE did this movie go? It's rarely talked about but one of the best suspense thrillers of that era! Young Forest Whitaker too! Good stuff! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Massively underrated thriller with a fresh plot and strong performances particularly as a little known Spacey takes up a villainous Eddie with great poise and believability. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A couple meet their new neighbors and then become amateur swingers. When one of the men sleeps with the other's wife, he is accused of murder after she is found stabbed to death. This could've been a good thriller if not for the disturbing and unsettling subject matter. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review jack o Oh my god, why do I have to be just a sore loser to this piece of shit? Consenting Adults had some good cast in it like Kevin Kline and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio who you know from The January Man even though the critics hated it except me! There's a scene where it's very quiet and a fight scene that shocked me and all but aside from that it's not a really good film! Kevin Spacey is really good in this film as well however I still think this film isn't very good. Also there are some scenes in this movie where the woman who is singing sort of The Bodyguard starring Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston so that is similar but for this one I'd say you can definitely skip.

      Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: D Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Rated: 3/5 May 20, 2006 Full Review Entertainment Weekly Rated: D Oct 16, 1992 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Consenting Adults ultimately fares better in its low-key, domestic drama-focused first half... Rated: 3/4 Feb 16, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Kline's character is such an imbecile that it's hard to care whether he clears himself. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 30, 2021 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant Audiences for Pakula's latest failure to make a sexy film about sex will probably be small, however. This is not a thriller any thinking adult would eagerly consent to see. May 29, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
