I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

One of my all time favorites.

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Stockard Channing and Julia Styles deserve Oscars for this would-be psycho thriller which, as others stated, just built you up, just to let you down. It could have been more mind bending if the surprise element of Julia's true character revealed, had been more thoroughly explored rather than teasing us for so long, with no shock value at the end. Doesn't have to be blood and gore, but certainly some kind of "consequence" for the malicious actions of both women against an "innocent" man besides leaving us with the proverbial thought, 'Oh, maybe I really don't want this job...I should get a life.' Still, for all the potential 'could've beens', I enjoyed the movie.

Business of Strangers is sold as a film about corporate manipulation. It deals with Stockard Channing (giving another wooden performance) as a business executive on an out-of-town meeting who learns while there that she has been promoted. She also fires her newly hired assistant Julia Stiles for coming late for an important business meeting. Nick Harris is the head-hunter who works for her company, who is also in town for a corporate meeting.Business of Strangers revolves around these three characters and the time they spend together at the hotel-airport when they miss their flight. There are subtle lesbian overtones at the start of the movie. Stiles is undoubtedly the villain of the piece - the poor, ambitious girl struggling to be a writer. Nick Harris and Channing are the ones cast in a more sympathetic light despite the fact that their professions should not draw any sympathy.There was nothing striking about the plot or the dialogue. Julia Stiles is a good actress and someone to watch out for - if she can get out of the Ludlum action movie cycle.

"The Business of Strangers" answers the, "What if a cruel psychopath was plopped into a group of normal persons", question. In this movie, the psychopath is Julia Stiles, and the normal group consists of only two individuals, Stockard Channing and Fred Weller. From the outset I found every bit of the movie credible. Stockard Channing is an anxious, stressed, and cynical professional who knows utter randomness is a fact of life. She does her job as well as she can, but realizes that most of her working future is way beyond her control. Fred Weller is an unnecessary acquaintance who happens to be there when the Julia Stiles character lands in their midst.Now, I must confess that being a male reviewing a work involving predominantly females may not seem proper because I am sure I missed many nuances, both verbal and nonverbal, that women would note and understand, however, that said, from my point of view, I could understand the power struggles and spur of the moment decisions that Channing was forced to confront. Maybe it is only in my imagination that women have the same conflicts and tensions as men, but the way this story was presented I am sure gender was not a determining factor motivating the actions of either the Channing or Stiles character. Those motivations being a struggle for conquest, self-preservation, and sanity.To be quite frank, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. I thought the acting, tone, and plot were all far above average and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good hour and a half of sophisticated and intense escapism.

Yet another independent film director trying to scream at the world how artistic he is by accepting a vapid script. In a review I read of this movie, Stiles' character was described as a fragile wall flower who shows her true colors towards the end of the movie. This could not be farther from the truth. Even in the beginning scenes one can get the feeling of utter angst, and self-loathing steaming off Paula. To when you see her waiting in the bar, and a man comes to talk to her, with Paula telling him to "f*ck off". Real fragile there, right? Her character completely gives off the airs of a 20-something nobody stemming from a rich family who has nothing to do but mess with peoples lives, and act vindictively. This by far overshadowed what could have been an amazing performance by Channing. The story itself was utterly vague, a tactic used by many independent film makers in order to supposedly let the viewer decide for themselves what is really going on behind the scenes. In the end it came out being just so vague that I had all together absolutely no clue as to the intents of the other. I think the whole black mail thing towards the end could have been more developed, whereas instead it came out as an empty threat. In the end I only found myself laughing at Paula's feeble attempts at seeming tough, and hardened by the world, as well as the men in it. To me, this film was just another one that the critics eat up because of its supposed "artistry" while holding no form, or poise at all. I give it a strong (D-)
