Cruel Intentions 3

Cruel Intentions (1999) was a masterpiece, one of those unexpected movies that comes along and truly blows you away. A modern adaptation of Les liaisons dangereuses it was spellbinding, but certainly a standalone film.

But Hollywood executives disagreed and decided to milk it with not one but two more films.

The second followed some of the same characters but recast and with a dreadful cashgrab story. This is a separate movie with nothing to do with the original material and is more a thriller with loosely similiar themes.

Starring Dawsons Creek/Final Destination star Kerr Smith it tells the story of two men who engage in bets that involve seducing and sleeping with women. Of course you have the female equivalent in there for good measure and plenty of twists and turns.

The twists however are very predictible and the "Turns" lack the intelligence or originality of the first movie.

Is this better than the second? Absolutely! But it's yet another cashgrab sequel that simply should never have been made.

The Good:

Has its moments

The Bad:

Not as clever as it thinks it is

Simply shouldn't exist
