Character-Driven Erotic Thriller.

Chloe is a 2009 erotic thriller film directed by Atom Egoyan, a remake of the 2003 French film Nathalie.... It stars Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson, and Amanda Seyfried in the title role. Its screenplay was written by Erin Cressida Wilson, based on the earlier French film, written by Anne Fontaine.Catherine (Moore) hires Chloe (Seyfried), an escort, to test her husband's (Neeson) loyalty towards her. However, Chloe falls in love with Catherine and the two women get intimate, which complicates their lives.Chloe starts off as an intriguing psychological drama - and then begins to veer off into B-movie territory, although Egoyan packs in enough wisdom about the slow erosion of relationships, about aging, about female desire, to make the film utterly worthwhile. Moore and Seyfried provide the film with an intense breath of authenticity guaranteeing you feel the pain inflicted upon their characters by the plot's extreme circumstances.The script's feminine perspective helps elevate the film from Egoyan's usual sexy (but satisfying) thriller into something a tad more insightful. The films seductive aesthetic is both distancing and, largely on the strength of Moore's translucent performance and Seyfried's boldness, forcibly intimate.The film may be predictable and a little messy when it comes to the story-telling but Moore and Seyfried deliver enough hot chemistry to keep an audience's interest until the final moments. Between the strong acting, camera work, the subtle yet powerful score and a compelling story that lures us immediately, Chloe is ultimately a recommended watch.

A great cast with solid performances but quite predictable

So, I had never heard of this movie before I just recently happened upon it on Netflix. I figured I'd give it a shot, because of the cast. Julianne Moore, Liam Neeson and Amanda Seyfried? Sold!The plot was very typical of a thriller of this type. Woman suspects her husband is cheating, enlists a call girl to see if he gets tempted. Said call girl turns out to have a few screws loose, seduces the woman, lies about having been with the husband and when the wife says get lost, she doesn't take the not-so hint. I saw the ending coming within the first act.The plus side is, the cast was at the top of their game. It was nice for a change to see Neeson in a more human role, as opposed to having to save someone using an inexplicable set of skills yet again. Moore is, as always, very believable and captivating as a neglected wife, seeking an outlet and a scapegoat. What can I say about Seyfried? First of all, gorgeous, in just about every way! Then, to see her take on the role of someone unhinged and unstable but still so erotic? As they said on Firefly, I had to go into my bunk after watching this. Couple that with the fact that Moore is still hot in her, what now, 50's doing an erotic love scene with Seyfried? Yeah that was worth the price of admission, or my monthly subscription rather. So, even though the movie is far too reminiscent of The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, Unfaithful or Gone Girl, it's still worth checking out for the performances and the skin as well.
