Bad Influence DVD movie August 10, 2008
Robert W. Simmons (Madison WI USA)
This is a fine suspense film, delivered prontissimo by a fine seller! Rates triple A++++.
A very dark and dangerous Rob Lowe! July 24, 2007
Trail Stomper (Alexandria, VA)
Easily Rob Lowe's best on-screen performance as the expert con-man who keeps a veneer of civility over an extremely sadistic and violent nature.
And the always intriguing James Spader, who gives a sublime performance as the unsuspecting victim to Lowe's sociopathic character, that is well worth the watch. Also an appearance by a young Marcia Cross who plays the sheltered and wealthy daddy's girl and is Spader's fiance...at least until Lowe comes onto the scene. This movie moves at a fast paced rhythm, and I higly suggest giving it a try.
Lowe's best film performance... May 30, 2007
cblo (Idaho, USA)
Saw this movie when it was originally released- shortly after the sex tape weirdness of the '88 Democratic convention; it was serenely ironic that at the precipice of career suicide by Lowe, he would in this film provide his best performance. Although recent work in West Wing & Brothers & Sisters has helped him reclaim a bit of appreciation, this character still resonates as a well-played, against type evildoer. A tight script, another high quality performance by Spader and an ecellent soundtrack all add to the guilty pleasure.

...almost got lost in the review. Rob Lowe is young, cunning.
James Spader, youthful and with generosity-but naiive!!!
Spader's "stumbling block" becomes his tumbling "block" as Rob Lowe lets loose with his own brand of mischief, style and demeanor. This is the devil at ease. The duo take the lost way to hell. Watch who ya meet...I guess you never know.
 Underrated, creepy and edge of your seat film. August 17, 2006

I had never heard of this film before, or maybe I did in passing but never paid any attention to it. I recently picked it up at a video store and have already watched it twice. Lowe is definitely convincing in his role as a bad guy, and him and Spader definitely complement each other in this movie, even though they are opposing forces. A definite must see!
