Blu-ray Review – Strangers Kiss

Co-writers Blake Novak and Matthew Chapman (who also directs) take an odd journey into the ways of moviemaking with "Strangers Kiss." The screenplay takes a fictional look at the making of "Killer's Kiss," which was the second feature from director Stanley Kubrick, using a pressurized situation to inspire a study of temptation and jealousy, also adding in an overall appreciation of technical effort. Chapman and Novak hunt for heat and tension with the endeavor, but they never quite reach a level of intimacy with this study of obsession. It's the rest of "Strangers Kiss" that's definitely more involving, watching a Kubrick-ian helmer command the actors and oversee the daily grind of creating shots and managing personalities.
