Fantastic!
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
This film is an excellent textbook example of the bankruptcy of fundamentalist Christian morality. The plot is straightforward: a man comes home from work on his wedding anniversary and finds his wife having sex with another man. He pulls a gun on them and the rest of the movie is the conversation they have while he decides whether to kill one or both. A loving marriage is clearly defined as one in which nobody cheats.The man calls the wife of the adulterer, who runs over and denounces her husband and then has the first man has sex with her in front of her husband and the first man's wife. They are seriously tortured over this—witnessing their spouse having sex with someone else (as punishment? for their having sex with someone else?) It turns out that the husband's boss repeatedly raped the wife when she was in highschool and she let him because her father worked for him and needed the job and she loved her father. The movie gets her shot but leaves the completely unremorseful boss scott free. I guess the difference is she is a woman and he is a man; or, he is a capitalist and she is just a worker.So the definition of married love and fidelity is that penises stay out of extramarital vaginas. This is supposed to be morally inspiring and indicating the spiritual wonder of the old testament.The horror of forced sex on the highschool girl is suggested as the source of her infidelity. This isn't a psychological analysis, however; it's just cause/effect, and she blames herself for it. Also, the bizarre sex between the good husband and the betrayed wife of the adulterer is just shown as something that happens—doesn't seem to affect either the wife or the husband.None of these people pay attention to the bible, although they can quote chapter and verse. Their reactions and their decisions appear to be completely independent of scripture, although scripture is quoted. So one has the sense that this movie is directed to nominal fundamentalist Christians and gives them an excuse for various sexual activities on the grounds that they had a bad childhood, suffered abuse, etc. Further, the movie implicitly condones the cold-blooded murder of two people.
What even?? How did they make an entire movie without anyone telling them they weren't in Alabama or something? Makes the movie pretty hard to watch and totally unconvincing. Ew. Every single time Samuel spoke, I cringed. I was born and raised in southern Louisiana and no one I have ever know sounds like that haha.I would not recommend to anyone.I really can't even write ten lines about this garbage movie.. it's pretty dull and inauthentic.I hope I've written enough at this point. Watch it for fifteen minutes before you turn it off like I did. You will be let down.:)
It was a decent premise and could have made a good film but from the opening credits, the guy sounded like he belonged in Steel Magnolias as opposed to being in New Orleans. It's 2016! Everyone has heard New Orleans accents by now and they should know they aren't dripping in sweet tea & magnolias. Get it right and maybe, MAYBE I could watch the film again. Not only was it a terribly fake accent from all who attempted it, it was SO FORCED -- sometimes there, sometimes not.Other people might like it better than I did if they can ignore the accents or don't care that they're fake. I've seen worse acting at a local high school, and the plot was plausible and interesting.
Sean Faris should win an award for the worst Louisiana accent ever. He sounds like a southern Texas teenage girl going with that trendy vocal fry voice. Wtf. How could anyone who has ever been to New Orleans think that was OK? I might consider watching the movie again. I'd have to mute the audio and turn on subtitles. Terrible.... Pretty much ruined my whole day. Sad because the plot seemed like it would be interesting. I'm going to drink away any memory of that horrible voice. What a waste. How many lines do I need for this? How many lines do I need for this? How many lines do I need for this? How many lines do I need for this?
