Movie #942 "Asylum," or the one with Natasha Richardson and all the heavy breathing, is not a movie to my liking. I was watching it on t.v. late at night and the casting piqued my interest --- her hubby was played by the big honcho from "Downtown Abbey" and a psychiatrist was played by Ian McCellan, and Natasha has always interested me, being from royal theatre blood and all (and dying from that freak skiing accident). Anyway, this was way too similar to another much better movie, "Unfaithful," with Richard Gere and Diana Lane. Same idea that a woman who exists in a barren relationship seeks hot involvement with a younger guy, and the husband finds out, and now what???? The scenes with the young lover are supposed to be hot so that we forget the woman for her adultery ------In neither movie does there seem to be anything more than the sex, but I certainly liked the ending to the Richard Gere movie more ---- I'll never forget them sitting in a car trying to make a decision if they would stay together or not ---- this one is awful, awful, awful. Such tragedy. Way too many happenstances in this film to make it believable to me. I dismissed it, and I think you shouldn't even bother seeing it ----
Asylum I would give it 2 out of 5 stars. Don't bother!
Our best guess for you: 2.7 stars
Average of 72659 ratings: 2.9 stars
A psychiatrist's wife encounters an inmate at a maximum-security asylum and finds herself curiously drawn to him. But things really heat up when the inmate is placed on a work detail just a few steps from the psychiatrist's home.
