I watched it a long, long time ago. Perhaps, this is the film that made me started being curious for Keanu Reeves phenomenon. This film stole my attention for the full two hours, even when I was terribly drowsy that night. No matter what critics say in later years, I am personally impressed by the Dangerous Liaisons. It was the first time in my life that something can be so amusing, luscious, rich, elaborate, and full of moral messages at the same time. Innocent characters being put at stake for mere fun of powerful men and women; but by the end, the one who cries is the one who started the entire joke.

"Things are not always what they seem," I think to be a connecting theme in many of Keanu's films.
