Well, here's a film that takes it literally. There's a legendary rule at many universities, so the film posits, that if your roommate commits suicide you can take a 4.0 GPA for the semester. Tim (Matthew Lillard of Scream fame, in yet another of his patented psycho roles) plans with his roommate Chris (Michael Vartan) to kill a third roommate Rand (Randall Batinkoff) so they can collect their 4.0s and get Chris a Harvard M.B.A. As Chris says, "Either it's a Harvard M.B.A. or you're flipping burgers." No elevated thinker, Chris. Rand is a cruel jerk to his Sandy Dennis-like girlfriend, Natalie (Tamara Craig Thomas), so it's hard to miss him when he's gone. But that sentiment applies equally to nearly every other character in the picture, including Chris's girlfriend Emma (Keri Russell), who seems to be the most sympathetic of the group. That's the movie's strength; you think you know everyone but you don't. And that's also its greatest weakness; you need to know and like these people for the film to work. If you can stomach these people (in which case counseling might be in order), the exceedingly twisty-turny plot will keep you entertained to the last amazing revelation. Otherwise, you might want to keep searching for a thriller that gives its people an inner life worth viewing. The Curve was snatched from Sundance for a distribution deal by Trimark, but wound up in this direct-to-video release instead. --Jim Gay Average Rating:
 Rating:  - More lethal than I you dieWith today's fast evolution of the video market, DVDs are becoming so cheap, destocking, competition from Blue-ray, and all kinds of pirating, that we can get DVDs for less than five euros, if not less that five dollars, if not even less than just plain nothing. So when I got into that one, I thought I was entering some kind of college comedy for teeny boppers looking for some soft sexual kicks. But that impression vanished within fifteen minutes and was replaced by the new question whether this ...

I am still utterly confused by the plot twists at the end.... can someone please email me and explain it??? Rating: - The best film noir in the last 50 yearsSadly, probably one of the only. What defines a film noir is where the main character essentially digs their own grave and the twists are unpredictable. I grew up on many of the old film noirs and had never even heard of this movie. Even though I'm currently only in my early-mid 20s right now (2008), I felt a little weird with how some of the references dated the movie. However, Matthew Lillard's performance made me laugh uncontrollably in some parts. Where is he now anyway? Back to the movie - I ... Read More Rating:  - DEAD MAN ON CAMPUS meets SCREAM... I'm seriousAs my title might suggest, I rented THE CURVE because its plot was similar to DEAD MAN ON CAMPUS, a film I enjoyed much more than most of the population, so seeing the same material handled in a much more dark, serious way seemed intriguing. Well, after having viewed THE CURVE, I can say one thing: the title is quite appropriate, as the plot has more twists and turns than a crazy straw. Meet Tim (Matthew Lillard, in SCREAM mode) and Chris (Michael 'OMG, he was on ALIAS' Vartan), two roommates ... Read More Rating:  - Almost passed on this one !When I first started watching this movie (I'm over 70) I thought "oh,just another kid's movie. I don't need this". Well, fortunately I didn't switch the dial and continued to watch. Further and further I was drawn into this, could be real, senerio. What a mystery, twists and turns...not to mention the great acting. This is a lost leader. Pick up a copy and enjoy the suspense and good acting! Browse for similar items by category:
