Wild Things (1998)


Matt Dillon as a popular Florida high school guidance counselor accused of raping two of his students, one wealthy, the other a swamp girl who had been spent some time in juvenile detention. Bill Murray as the lawyer who defends him. But that was just the beginning. Becomes more and more complex. I won't give it away. A lot more sex and nudity than I expected. Kevin Bacon as an abusive police detective has a shower scene that showed more of his nakedness than he agreed to in his contract.

Violent but not absurdly so.

According to Wikipedia, Kevin Bacon said the script was the trashiest thing he ever read but "Every few pages, there was another surprise."

Keep watching the end credits to see a few scenes clarifying the plot.

With Neve Campbell, Theresa Russell and Denise Richards, with Robert Wagner as the understandably  outraged father.

I saw it free on Tubi, but I think it may be leaving.
