      mutlu t it is a small yet an interesting film. it is like "Catherine Trammel in the office". It is also very similar to Disclosure 1994. It is not as power as Basic Instinct or Disclosure but it is still worth watching. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member An ok thriller starring Lara Flynn Boyle, Timothy Hutton and Faye Dunaway. It's entertaining and not as bad as it is made out to be. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member The stars are for LFB. Again the woman is cold and evil. Even when during the cold open we find out Tim Hut has a Mr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde complex. There is a couple twists that a casual watcher would miss. Lile me the first two times. Take: An enjoyable 90's quasi-thriller with a psycho ex-girlfriend flavor. Watch it w/friends for an awesome Movie night. Laughs abound. Your temp 2Reel z Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member He can't decide if he is imaging things or not. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review William P Most acting of the movie is kind of gentle. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/04/16 Full Review Audience Member Hell of a lot of campy fun to be had with this one. Faye Dunaway steals the show.

      Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: D Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Janet Maslin New York Times As written by Kevin Falls and directed by Tom Holland, The Temp starts well and runs into trouble about midway through. Rated: 2/5 May 20, 2003 Full Review Steve Davis Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...an erratic thriller that ultimately fares best in its briskly-paced and engrossing first half... Rated: 2.5/4 Jul 13, 2022 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The crass story-line went off the rails at the midway point and thereafter just turns into a train wreck.
