Son of the Hollywood icon, Kirk Douglas, Michael Douglas made a name for himself in his versatile career, gracing the screen for over five decades as an actor, producer, and director. Douglas has starred in genre-defining movies like Basic Instinct, blockbuster franchises like Marvel's Ant-Man, and historical biopics like Franklin. No matter what genre or character, Douglas delivers his lines with a velvet cadence and a signature charm of old Hollywood.
A 180-degree shift from his usual characters of powerful corporate or political figures, Grady Tripp is a proportionately woeful mess who is trying to figure his life out at 50-something still trying to ride the wave of success from almost a decade before. Wonder Boys is comically gloomy as Douglas delivers the full package in a film about knowing when to close and start a new chapter.
Through the masterful direction of Fincher, audiences are off-screen participants, questioning what's real and what's not. Nicholas is a character audiences have seen from Douglas before, a clean-cut corporate suit that he thrives in, but the downward spiral into madness was a unique arc very much separated from the previous psychological thrillers in his filmography.
Audiences watch this film with the same fervor as Alex's obsession with Dan, hanging on the edge of every word and scene. Its depiction of mental health and adultery premise may not have aged as well as expected, but Fatal Attraction is still one of the most engrossing movies in Douglas's canon.*Availability in US A seemingly innocent affair turns into a nightmare for a married lawyer when his lover becomes dangerously fixated on him.
