I'm on the fence with this movie. The movie has a great and genius plot, but I think it could have been developed so that would have caught the attanetion of the viewer (i.e. a more fast paced development of teh story). Ever since I saw the trailers (last year) I figured what the plot was all about, but I expected it to be a more fascinating one, just like previous movies from teh director. Again, great plot just at least 50 minutes too long.
This is most likely the movie to watch this year. A movie about a character that although life has handed her the short (and by short I mean short) of the stick she is focused on succeeding in life. The movie also portrays the exact opposite of what a mother's love should be: a woman that based on maybe ignorance or lack of self esteem puts her own needs above her offspring's and then blames the daughter for her misfortunes in love.
Although the plot is an easy one to figure out, it was an overall good movie to watch. It's an updated version in my opinion of Natural Born Killers. Plus has tons of eye candy for everyone!!
When I saw the previous for this movie I wanted to see it, maybe because looked like a thriller or reminded me of teh movie the God Son. But within 10 minutes into the movie I realized that this was a very unusual thriller. This "girl" character is sick, love how mannipulative she is! In addition to the plot, it was aslo a very well made movie. Go and watch it!
I go almost every week to the movies so I could not wait to see this movie on the screen. The movie turned out to be a typical case of overpromissed and underperformed (sort of like keeping expectations high and not delivering). Pretty much, if you saw the previous you saw the movie. It was a very predictable one. The production seems to have work hard to make it look like a white woman was a homewrecker on a black couple, which in my opinion it was not needed.
The story line sounds interesting. but when it comes to been projected in the screen it did not fly. It is something to watch either as a blockbuster rental or in free HBO weekend.
