Summary: "The Right Temptation" is a B-grade thriller with a cast of A-grade 
   actors.  The high caliber talents make this movie much more believable than 
   otherwise.  The plot is somewhat predictable for a thriller, but still enjoyable 
   nonetheless.

   


The Story

  

Derian McCall (Rebecca De Mornay) is a former undercover detective who once got too close to her subject.  Now retired from law enforcement, she is a private investigator.  One day, the wife of a successful businessman, Anthea (Dana Delany), hires Derian to investigate her husband's possible infidelity, Michael Farrow-Smith (Kiefer Sutherland).  When Derian follows Michael around and finds nothing suspicious, Anthea is not satisfied.  Instead, she proposes Derian to seduce her husband, to see if he would give in to "The Right Temptation".  (Hmmm... eyebrows going up)

  

When Derian tries to get close to Michael, it doesn't seem that he's interested.  But then again, maybe he is.  Now Derian finds herself truly attracted to Michael, and she has to figure out a way to remove herself from this situation.  Things start to get hairy when Derian's photographer partner is missing right after he calls and says that he has something to show her.  Will Derian realize that something foul is going on?  The A-grade cast made this movie much more believable and enjoyable than had such a B-grade movie would with just a mediocre cast.  If you're into sexy thrillers, this is worth a look, though the plot is quite predictable after you get the gist of the story.
  
The Extras

  

There's not much by way of bonus material -- only some theatrical trailers and talent files for the cast and crew.

  

Video & Audio

  

The image quality of this anamorphic widescreen DVD is very good.  The colors are accurate and saturated, with good shadow details.  The Dolby Digital 5.1-channel surround sound is well balanced and effective.
