Sebastian Valmont, the heir to a powerful family, enters a cynical wager with his stepsister, Kathryn.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

This 2016 TV movie remake attempts to update the vicious social satire for a new generation, often trading the original's sharp bite for a more conventional teen drama tone. The core plot mechanics remain, but some of the dangerous allure is softened.

What lingers after the credits is a competent but safe retelling that lacks the transgressive spark of its predecessor. It serves the story but forgets to truly scandalize. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Roger Kumble

The sterile glamour of empty poolsides, whispered secrets in locker rooms, the predatory glow of phone screens in the dark.
