Caught (1996)
REVIEW
Nick (Verveen), a "mysterious drifter," is taken in by Joe (Olmos), a fish shop owner, and his wife Betty (Alonso). He's given a job and the bedroom of their son, who's in Hollywood trying to break into movies. Things are rosy until Betty and Nick start having an affair, and things get really tense when son Danny pays a surprise visit. While the scenario and conclusion fit neatly into the glib "adultery-never-pays" agenda of most erotic thrillers, Caught is far more believable and involving than one would expect, with good performances and a deliberate pace that allows scenes to unfold naturally.
