Swimfan Movie Review 2002

Watered down, teen "Fatal Attraction" with an obsessed and deranged Christensen in the Glenn Close role and Bradford, the unlucky Michael Douglas stand-in. Ben Cronin is a suburban NYC high school swimming star, and Madison Bell a new girl in town who hooks the studly jock and reels in him. Otherwise involved, the promising athlete allows Madison to seduce him in the pool on one occasion, which automatically sets off her crazy mechanism. She immediately begins to run the well-worn stalker playbook. Ben's life begins to unravel due to Madison's devious designs and after a face-off with his psycho one-night-stand, he's forced to fight back with the help of her cousin, the class nerd. Mildly thrilling pic suffers from editing and continuity gaffes.
