Dangerous Liaisons 7.5/10
Period drama starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer, and very young Keanu Reeves and Uma Thurman.
Glenn Close and John Malkovich are great in the two central roles of master manipulators and competitors/lovers; their scenes snap, crackle and pop. Pfeiffer also stands out in the supporting role, though Malkovich's seduction of her does not entirely convince, which I think was perhaps down to some poor editing choices, but that is a trifle. Keanu is the one dud in the casting; he's just not meant for period dramas.
