When Catherine becomes convinced that David is unfaithful, she hires a prostitute to test the husband's marital devotion. When Chloe reports back to her, she is disturbed but also oddly turned on. Atom Egoyan's remake of a 2003 French film Natalie is a cold and stylish, erotically flavoured drama which teeters between intriguing and ridiculous. Julianne Moore and Liam Neeson are painfully believable as a middle-aged couple whose relationship has lost the spark. Chloe, on the other hand, remains a pretty plot device who never becomes a fully-fleshed human being. The last minute turn into Fatal Attraction territory ultimately destroys the film.
