{"product_id":"0826663166880","title":"Bad Influence","description":"Successful LA marketing analyst Michael Boll (James Spader) seemingly has it all -- except a sense of self-confidence. Enigmatic drifter Alex (Rob Lowe) enters Michael's life and immediately begins to exert a negative influence. As Michael's self-esteem zooms (aided by generous dollops of sex and drugs) he allows himself to be dragooned into a life of crime by the demonic Alex. The \"doppelganger\" aspects of \u003ci\u003eBad Influence\u003c\/i\u003e, and the film's many unexpected twists and turns, echo films of Alfred Hitchcock, especially \u003ci\u003eStrangers on a Train\u003c\/i\u003e. The film's boldest stroke is to cast the likeable Lowe as the bad guy (albeit a charming one) and the often villainous Spader as the malleable milquetoast.","brand":"UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOME ENT.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47094369321200,"sku":"0826663166880","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/0826663166880_p0.jpg?v=1763528106","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/0826663166880","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
