Film: B Kevin Bacon: B+ Neve Campbell: B+ Matt Dillon: B+ Bill Murray: B+ Denise Richards: B Daphne Rubin-Vega: B Theresa Russell: B Carrie Snodgress: B+
I was thinking about also putting Bill Murray in My OP but I decided against it.
If I had to grade his performance in the Movie then I myself would actually give him an "A".
I thought that he did a good job.

This movie I actually was lucky enough to watch in the theaters (during my teenage movie-hopping days, shh). It took me by surprise because it looked like a comedy in the trailer, but then also like a mystery. I didn't expect it to be a murder mystery one murder after another. I recognized all of the actors that would be in the film, but I didn't think they would all come together as perfectly as they did during the plot developments. Not to mention several of the performances from the different actors and actresses is exactly why I like the actors themselves in my favorite movies of theirs. The movie was certainly a nice surprise. I watched it I don't know how many times. It's not my favorite movie, but "Wild Things" is a great little movie. It deserves a B+ at the very least.Suzie Toller: Neve Campbell was a favorite actress of mine as soon as her movie career began, she still is a nostalgic face to see. I'm happy to know she's ready to do "Scream 5", finally. Her role as Suzie is very trailer trash, south Miami, emo inspired feeling - It was a really nice change-up from her girl next door, innocent victim typecast routine. By the end of the movie, I couldn't take my eyes off her. She owned this role and this movie as far as I'm concerned.Kelly Van Ryan: Denise Richards didn't have the career I thought she would, sadly. However, I do think this movie showcases her range of playing the woman scorned as well as the villainous psychopath. I know a lot of people watched the movie, over and over for the eye candy scenes of her. I actually think she's more hot as a heroine, like in "Starship Troopers," but that's me. For a fourth-wheel to the core group of this movie, she equaled the other's talent chops.Ray Duquette: I can't say enough about Kevin Bacon as an actor, he's one of my favorite actors. All the way from, "White Water Summer" to "Cop Car." I especially enjoy when he plays a villain. He's not only great at it, he can play various villain characters. That or he's just good playing a bad version of himself, ha. I really can't imagine another actor in the role of Officer Duquette. Aside from Suzie, he was my next favorite character in the movie.Sam Lombardo: Matt Dillion really plays a role similar to many of his other roles. I mean, different character, different atmosphere. I think what makes his character here fully watchable, is most of the investigation you do believe he's innocent. By the time the twists pile on, you really have no idea if he's good or bad, or how good or how bad. The entire end scene of his character on the boat really shows you Sam's true colors towards the rest of the characters. He was certainly my favorite slow death in the film. He also learned of the full story practically just before the end.
Ken Bowden: I like Bill Murray a lot, especially when he's the lead actor to a comedy movie that he finds a way of making his own. His drama work is alright, but a bit too subtle for me. This movie for me, keeps his talent right in between the two. Glimpses of comedic humor and fraud imposing stature (the neck brace, lol). B+ is a very good rating for him, in my opinion; this just wasn't his own movie. The twist at the end of the movie involving his character was a very cool reveal to audiences.Sandra Van Ryan: Actress Theresa Russell was a very talented and attractive actress early in her career. I remember seeing her in "Black Widow" just knowing she'd be around for quite some time. She was still very attractive in this movie role. Her acting also felt more authentic at times than some of the main cast of actors. It was really a nice part for her that I'm sure she had fun with. You could see the Mother & Daughter relationship between her and Kelly, ha.
Tom Baxter: Actor Robert Wagner I didn't get to grow up on at the prime of his career. What movies I have watched of him, he always felt intimidating to me. He's certainly a great actor and in multiple scenes you see his seriousness come out. I wouldn't have wanted to cheat on his daughter in a million years, which Sam did. Lol.Gloria: I honestly don't know much about actress Daphne Rubin-Vega. She really was a floater through the film as the partner to Kevin Bacon. Although her character is the only character/detective aside from the main group, who solves the case in her head (mostly). I think a lot of actresses could've played this part, maybe even in better strides. Somewhere, I don't think the filmmakers wanted an actress in this role who would take away from all of the character dynamics the rest of the film had going on.
A great movie. I'm happy to see "Wild Things" not completely disappear from the cable networks over the years. I remember another movie came out right around the same year of this movie, "Very Bad Things." Which basically had a similar plot but fell back more on the comedy side of story-telling, where as this movie took a far more interesting film noir approach. Yeah, that other movie was pretty bad, I mean, very bad. Lol.
