Synopsis ~ Michael Douglas plays Dan Gallagher, a New York attorney who has a tryst with seductive Alex Forrest (Glenn Close) while his wife (Anne Archer) is away. Dan later shrugs off the affair as a mistake and considers it over. But Alex won’t be ignored. Not now, not tomorrow, not ever…even if it means destroying Dan’s family to keep him.

   This iconic thriller finally debuts in the Blu, much to the horror of white bunnies everywhere. The film that made every man think twice before contemplating both playmates and pets still has the same thrilling impact now as it did when it originally hit theaters. Both Douglas and Close give thrilling performances, but if you’re a Glenn Close fan at all, then this is one of the films she will most certainly be remembered for.
   This being a Blu-Ray there’s bound to be more bang for your buck and the extras are where it’s at. The extras offer the unique experience of not only giving you behind-the-scenes access, but also delving into the public fixation after the films initial release. The best extra though, would have to be the rehearsal footage, giving glimpses of each actor’s preparation and processes to becoming their characters.
   So with tons of extras and a killer storyline, Fatal Attraction is surely a Blu-Ray that makes the cut.
