Fantastic!
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Honestly, people are making out this movie is the worst - It's not at all! I gave this a watch the other night & it was a good keep you on the edge of your seat movie. Yeah, ok, the movie has been done 100 times before but the storyline differed to the usual crazy ex wife still Inlove with her ex husband scenario. There's a lot more hidden & psychologial depth to it. Katherine Heigl played the ex wife brilliantly, she seriously gave me the creeps. A total psychotic, delusional, OCD lunatic! At times I just wanted her to be caught out, I couldn't watch at what her next malicious & deceitful move against Rosario Dawson was going to be! Actors gave 100% throughout - I really don't get why people just can't enjoy a movie that's not so original. I mean, what movies are original these days anyway? 9/10 they've all been done before or they're remakes! Give this movie a go if you like thrillers/dramas. If you have an open mind, then you won't be disappointed!
Katherine Heigel salvaged the movie for me.She was the only good in it
Some laughable parts: 1. Julia character is hard to like. Girlfriend, spit out what you want to say and stop moping! 2. When the stabbed ex bf saw Tessa, he knew it was her doing that quickly? While in pain! 3. Duh, phone missing, ring missing, watch missing, unknown phone calls. Yet they can't put 2 and 2 together. 4. Dumb police. Like it's hard to believe someone else can create a fake Facebook account? 5. After she was released with doubts from police, they found her at her fiancé ex house, dead, fiancé beaten, and they all of a sudden believe her? 6. And who stabs someone in the leg in own house and drives away? 7. Julia seems to navigate Tessa mansion pretty well, under stress much less. 8. And how did fiancé afford that house in LA!
Is it a spoiler to say there are no spoilers? Seriously, the plot of this movie is so timeworn and obvious that you find yourself thinking there must be a twist, but no, it just plods on toward its inevitable conclusion. It's like the script was written by a bot that had been trained on Lifetime Original "thrillers". As if it weren't already predictable enough, they inexplicably wipe out any doubts by telling most of the story in *flashback*. It opens with a a badly beaten Rosario Dawson in a police station, accused of killing her abusive ex-boyfriend, whom she'd had a restraining order against for some time. She's confronted with a bunch of evidence that she lured him to the scene of the crime by flirting with him on Facebook, sending him her panties, etc. They then fade to "Six months earlier...".Dawson is an aspiring author, who has just gotten engaged to a Goeff Stults' character, who owns a brew pub. Somehow they've gotten this far in their relationship without Dawson ever getting to know his young daughter and ex-wife, played by Katherine Heigl, in spite of the fact that he appears to have full joint custody. They could have introduced a touch of suspense by adding even the slightest bit of nuance to Heigl's character, but she radiates so much evil and crazy that she might as well be holding a sign that says "villain". Since we already know where the movie is going, we just have to figure out how Heigl is going to frame Dawson for her ex-boyfriend's murder - which gets set up in about the next 10 minutes. After that, you just have to sit back and watch the pieces fall into place, which they do with disappointing precision.That said, the actors do the best with the script they've been given. Heigl is very good at playing an evil, crazy person - possibly because, if rumors are true, that doesn't require a lot of acting for her. Dawson is the typical protagonist in this sort of movie, meaning that she's a good person who is constantly making bad decisions that end up digging her in deeper. Nevertheless, you find yourself rooting for her.Stults is an LOM (="Lifetime Original Male"), by which I mean a good guy who's not all that bright. He loves Dawson, but often finds himself believing his ex, in spite of the fact that he must know how crazy she is firsthand. In then end, if - like me - you find yourself on an airplane and this is one of the movie options, it's not the worst way to pass an hour and forty minutes of the flight, but there are better options if you're at home.
