Indecent Proposal
John Gage offers a down-on-his-luck yuppie husband $1 million for the opportunity to spend the night with the man's wife.
Critics Sentiment
Gage offers one million dollars for one night with Diana
David turns to alcohol and confronts Gage and Diana publicly
The film peaks with the provocative proposal setup but crashes during David's alcoholic breakdown and public confrontation.
The film starts strong with an irresistible premise and charismatic performances, particularly Redford's seductive billionaire. However, critics found the execution increasingly predictable and shallow as the story progressed, with Lyne's glossy direction unable to mask fundamental script weaknesses. While the central moral dilemma engaged audiences, the resolution felt too neat for the complex questions raised.
