      dave j Friday, April 25, 2014 (1992) A Taste For Killing PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER Strictly-by-the book, and made-for-TV movie now available for rental centering on a couple of yuppie teenagers by the names of Cary Sloan (Henry Thomas) and Blaine Stockard III (Jason Bateman) arranged by their wealthy lawyer parents to work on an oil rig during the summer before getting their law degrees. Boss then assigns them to take orders from the foreman who resents them the most because he's well aware about their easy going lifestyle and for the way they got the job in the first place. And it was during this time they're befriended by a co-worker named Bo (Michael Biehn)who's really a psychopath. The movie then dwells on blackmail and extortion tactics made by Bo. The character played by Jason Bateman gets more dumber each time as the movie progresses, therefore his character becomes less credible. Bomb Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member ** (out of four) Two rich young (Jason Bateman, Henry Thomas) get jobs on an oil rig just for fun one summer. The boss is resentful of their wealth so he makes their lives miserable. Then they meet a man (Michael Biehn) who teaches them about revenge. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Two young snobs (Jason Bateman and Henry Thomas) go working on oil rig for summer. They have some trouble, but Bo Landry (Michael Biehn) helps them. Soon there is murder and suspicion on hands. Michael Biehn plays excellently "friend" role, who has some skeletons hidden in the closet. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
