This is more a film about trust, manipulation and morality than it is about sex. The central premise is one thing but the story is somewhat more complicated than first appears and of course there's the whole consumerist society moral angleThis is more a film about trust, manipulation and morality than it is about sex. The central premise is one thing but the story is somewhat more complicated than first appears and of course there's the whole consumerist society moral angle and the whole capitalism angle too. Robert Redford is his usual suave self, right enough and Woody Harrelson also gives a good performance as the husband, David Murphy. Its perhaps a little over sentimental at times - I think it could have done without the tinkly piano music in one or two scenes, frankly, some emotional responses felt too forced on the viewer for my personal tastes but its a relatively thought provoking watch and generally its a good(ish) film. I'd recommend this film to others, esp. fans of Redford and Harrelson but if your hoping for some kind of porn film then this may disappoint because it isn't exactly full of sexual scenes, which may be a relief for some or a disappointment - I'll, obviously, leave that for you to decide. It is perhaps a bit too morality based for some as well but I thought it was, overall, a good watch. Oh and I was surprised to find Billy Connolly is in the cast too.… Expand

Indecent Proposal is a 1993 film by Adrian Lyne.... I'm giving it an 8 only because Robert Redford's acting was top notch and Demi Moore's was okay. It's an okay film but not one I'd watch regularly but Oliver Platt's performance and WoodyIndecent Proposal is a 1993 film by Adrian Lyne....

It's an okay film but not one I'd watch regularly but Oliver Platt's performance and Woody Harrelson's leave a nasty taste in your mouth. Seriously Oliver Platt can't act at all and he wasn't even that great in Flatliners and Executive Decision and as far as Woody Harrelson goes I can't stand him as a person or an actor lol. There's some good moments in Indecent Proposal like Redford and Demi Moore on the boat and the lights go off and stuff and the pool or snooker game scene with conversation running over it and the betting scenes. As the film drags on though so much of it feels empty and depressing and I'm not a huge fan of it but Robert Redford gave his best performance ever so I'm being generous and giving it an 8. Most of the acting is great but some of the characters seem utterly stupid but all in all an average film. Not the best and not the worst. Only the high rating because Robert Redford's acting was spot on but no other reason. The thought of letting some stranger sleep with your wife for a night for a million dollars does seem a strange suggestion though lol… Expand

Indecent Proposal is a 1993 romance drama starring Robert Redford, Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson and Oliver Platt... Director Adrian Lyne who brought us films like Fatal Attraction and Flashdance now makes Indecent Proposal... Robert Redford isIndecent Proposal is a 1993 romance drama starring Robert Redford, Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson and Oliver Platt... Director Adrian Lyne who brought us films like Fatal Attraction and Flashdance now makes Indecent Proposal... Robert Redford is some billionaire named John Gage and offers Diana Murphy (Demi Moore) and David Murphy (Woody Harrelson) friendship to some degree in the movie after Demi Moore helped the billionaire win some money whilst gambling. He asks David Murphy (Harrelson) during a game of snooker or pool if he can borrow his wife for one night and the reward of doing so is a million dollars. The night would come and go but the money would last a lifetime so seems a fairly decent idea but who would share their wife with some other guy especially a stranger? The film raises questions but Robert Redford gives an excellent performance and so does Demi Moore and the film has trust issues and problems throughout especially after Demi Moore sleeps with Robert Redford and essentially cheats on her husband even if it was all consented by the husband. Not the best film but okay and decent but contains scenes of sex and bad language.… Expand
