What could have been a reasonably interesting idea ends up as an underwritten piece of dross in this turgid film. Directed in such a shambolic way,"Never talk to Strangers" sleepwalks its way through one uneventful plotline after another.
There is no build-up at all. Indeed the opening half an hour is one of the slowest you will ever see in a film with aspirations of capturing the attention of even the less demanding viewer.
The acting by the leads is passable at best with Antonio Banderas particularly poor as the ubiquitous "tall and dark stranger/suspect".
It seems as if all elements required to make a decent 90's thriller have been thrown together hastily and what is left is a desperately disappointing letdown.
