Product Description A missed flight...a lack of intimacy...guarded secrets... To Catherine (Julianne Moore), every detail suggests that her husband David (Liam Neeson) has been unfaithful. But there's only one way to know for sure. Catherine pays the mysterious Chloe (Amanda Seyfriend), an escort, to seduce her husband. She wants to know exactly how far she can trust him. But soon Catherine finds herself pushed beyond all limits as passions burn and obsessions build. From Academy Award®-nominated director Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter, 1997). "Intriguing, darkly erotic." -Tom Keogh, Seattle Times "A supercharged erotic thriller!" -Caryn James, Marie Claire "…a sexually charged drama…" -Bruce Kirkland, Toronto Sun "good, dirty fun." -Ain't It Cool News "devilishly sexy." -Paul Fischer, Dark Horizons .com In the erotic thriller Chloe, Dr. Catherine Stewart (Julianne Moore, A Single Man) suspects that her husband David (Liam Neeson, Taken) is cheating on her. So she hires an escort named Chloe (Amanda Seyfried, Mamma Mia!) to offer herself to him, to see how he responds--but Catherine has a surprising response to what unfolds, and Chloe becomes drawn deeply into the doctor's life. Chloe is an atypical "Hollywood" film from Canadian auteur Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter, Exotica), as it features big stars, a script Egoyan didn't write himself (it's by Erin Cressida Wilson, the screenwriter of Secretary), an editing rhythm notably less idiosyncratic than Egoyan films of old, and an ending that feels forced and unsatisfying. But Chloe explores classic Egoyan obsessions: voyeurism, jealousy, and betrayal. As the movie unfolds, the performances are full of rich details, capturing jagged emotional edges that make the somewhat-implausible plot compelling. Chloe doesn't have the uncanny psychological acuity of Egoyan's best films, but anyone who's enjoyed this unique director's earlier work will find much to enjoy. --Bret Fetzer Stills from Chloe (Click for larger image)

Chloe is so hot, ... and dangerous.
There are numerous fatal attraction movies out there, and you're thinking who needs another? How many Rocky sequels (7) do we need, right? As every movie takes some aspects from its predecessors, the majority of movie releases are rarely original material, and hence exist a degree of predictability. But somehow this flick is one grabs you and with an artistic creation that impacts your mind, and will still linger.The French is the unmatched nativity of erotic thrillers, so the Americans had to borrow some of Nathalie (this movie's predecessor), and it worked out brilliantly here. Add that to smooth, natural characters who play so well, they're all very believable, and a plot where a thin line exists with every decision these characters make. The storyline is like a ride to place these characters as a catalyst or template to frame yourself in.The whole premise or driving force is the irony that even though Catherine was being "cheated on," she was the one in power, control, and decision making (calling the shots) in the "business transaction" boss of hiring Chloe. Catherine had the div's (inside scoop) of her husband David's every actions/reactions. Chloe is weakened by the succumbed-damnation in her chain of desire for Catherine. However, it is Catherine who becomes snarled and tangled in her own web. This futility is like a never ending battle of self desire, control and empowerment. And we the audience are sucked in as well. I'll leave the rest of the details for your own unearthing.What made the story so believable is the incredible all around production of this movie, from the flawless acting, to the directing (Atom Epoyan), and impeccably perfect blu ray HD picture. Any old home can be remodeled and updated to modern style, so can an outdated crafted redo of Fatal Attraction 1987 subjected to an extreme makeover transformation into Chole 2010 storyline, made to succeed in any movie weekend night attention.This all-star cast is ideal for their roles: Catherine (Julieanne Moore) plays an OBGYN doctor, David (Liam Neeson) a college professor, and Chloe (Amanda Seyfried) escort. Highly recommended. Blu-ray extras has 2 deleted scenes, a trailer, plus a 25-min "behind the scenes, making of" clip. Perfect 1080p transfer.

It's trashy fun. No great insights here, just a modest drama with some steamy scenes.
CHLOE is a very implausible movie, but it has a classy sheen and some high-class actors. It comes from director Atom Egoyan, so it has artsy overtones. But at its heart, it is trashy fun, almost in the FATAL ATTRACTION vein.Julianne Moore is a tightly wound OB/GYN, married to handsome music professor Liam Neeson. The two have built a good life on the surface, but they have a troubled teenage son (Max Theriot, later from TV's BATES MOTEL) and are no longer physically close. Moore is convinced her husband is having an affair, and she hires a prostitute (Amanda Seyfried) to make the moves on her husband, to see if he responds. It's a dangerous game and Moore finds that this relationship between her husband and the hooker seems to bring her closer, erotically, to her husband. While all the characters have roughly the same screentime, this is really Moore's movie, and she does a solid job (as always) balancing between her dismay at her arousal and being drawn further into these unfamiliar feelings. I've deliberately kept this a bit vague, because I don't want to spoil the various entanglements that ensue. But as I said, she's playing a dangerous game with her own emotions and the emotions of others. It all culminates in a bit of an over-the-top climax, but it does come somewhat full-circle.Not only is Moore good, but Seyfriend is beguiling. I wouldn't say she gives a great performance, and her character is far too "wise" in knowing the secret hearts of others...but if we look at this film as more of a psycho-sexual thriller and less of a drama, her performance makes more sense. Neeson is solid. And Atom Egoyan, whose SWEET HEREAFTER and EXOTICA are great movies, does do a good job of giving the film a sense of being more important and having more to say than it really does...but it's really entertainment first and thoughtful a distant second.If I could, I'd give the film 3.5 stars. It's worth seeing, I think, but not something you should drop everything for. It's a very adult movie, obviously, and does have a few graphic scenes and some graphic language. But it is good, clean, "dirty" fun.
