Chloe

Moore plays Catherine Stewart, a doctor with a troubled son, Michael (Max Thieriot), & a popular college-professor husband, David (Liam Neeson) - perhaps popular. Known for a close relationship with his students, David arouses Catherine's suspicion with his e-mails & long nights. When they misses a flight from New York to their home in Toronto - & the enormously expensive surprise party Catherine has thrown for him - they finds evidence that perhaps there was more to it than walking late.

Atom Egoyan directing Julianne Moore & Amanda Seyfried in a sexy, kinky thriller? Sounds intriguing, no? & for about three-quarters of "Chloe," it is. Unfortunately, everything goes south in the last act, Egoyan & his actors slipping down the "Fatal Attraction"-like nut-job rabbit hole (though no bunnies are harmed in the making of this film).

Determined to check his fidelity, Catherine hires Chloe (Seyfried), a young prostitute, to try to seduce David & see how far it will go. If words like "entrapment" ring in your head, well, she is not going to arrest him. find out if he is cheating (or willing to). Recall, it is only a movie.

& so far, it is an interesting four. Catherine meets with Chloe for reports on David's behavior. They is both repelled & excited by the details, & by her complicity in the whole thing.

Where this leads is not surprising - at least at first. Catherine is jealous, hurt & needy; Chloe is making a career of being able to pick up on these things. But Chloe has feelings, .
