Giving the best performances they could given the content that they were provided, the glaring plot holes and predictable twists and turns depended too heavily on the backs of these actors.

| Original Score: C- | Feb 9, 2022

Fatal Affair has not one cinematic pleasure to offer.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 6, 2021

This algorithmic Netflix thriller isn't worth the click.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 18, 2021

Fatal Affair keeps the nightmares on-screen, making at least some of the danger we're living with digestible and even enjoyable.

If you're looking for something interesting or even a surprising twist or two, stalk another movie.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 28, 2021

It's actually not that bad of a movie. There's just so many dumb decisions made, but it is fun to watch. This is the kind of movie I wish I had seen in theaters...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 30, 2020

Not bad enough to be hilarious-good, like The Room, if they had gone full-crazy...Epps is crazy but has very little acting range...

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 30, 2020

Fatal Affair looks like it could have been made for Lifetime, but the movie ended up on Netflix because Netflix pays more ... but that doesn't guarantee that the quality of this type of 'woman in peril' movie is going to be any better.

| Jul 30, 2020

Slickly produced, this dramatic thriller constructs its plot by numbers, like a half-hearted gender-flipped remake of Fatal Attraction.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 29, 2020

By the end, the hour-and-a-half-long runtime feels overly stretched...

| Jul 28, 2020

Fatal Affair is as derivative as its title suggests.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 27, 2020

Though repetition dampens the chills, 'Fatal Affair' boasts a few thrills. Too many cuts to ocean waves. Yet acting almost this film saves.

| Jul 23, 2020

Fatal Affair sticks to the shallow formula that we begrudgingly love while creating a thrilling film that still manages to subvert a few expectations.

| Jul 23, 2020

A lazy thriller that doesn't offer much. One of the weakest films this year. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 21, 2020

Neither being remarkable or lousy enough to register an impression, Fatal Affair plays it by-the-numbers in a bland revival of the domestic thriller genre.

| Jul 21, 2020

You won't make a fatal - or even near-fatal - error if you stream it.

| Jul 21, 2020

Even as the clichés unleashed are profuse, so are the reminders of how entertaining and refreshingly adult these scenarios can be with the right cast, such as the energies Nia Long and Omar Epps conjure.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 20, 2020

[Fatal Affair] revives the 80 and 90s stalker trope but without much success... Nothing to see here folks, but I really like Nia Long who elevates it somewhat.

| Jul 20, 2020

One of those movies you'll constantly find yourself yelling at the screen in disbelief. And there's plenty of eye-rolling moments of insanity here.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Jul 20, 2020

As a lazy afternoon semi-thriller, though, it does exactly what it says on the tin.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 19, 2020
