Stumbled upon this movie wasn't expecting much. Started off eeegh then I heard have fun with my wife ... my ears perked to see what was to come. A lot of twist and turns but some things over the top or left out. Too many NOE WHY IN HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT OR NOT THAT came into play. I watched it thoroughly like I said not bad but not the greatest yet held my attention though.
This is a movie with promising premise but it's not very well scripted. There're many moments you would find yourself questioning the characters intelligence, decisions and actions while watching the movie. I'm not trying to sound smart here, but when I put myself in the characters' shoes, I just find the scenarios too far-fetched. I won't give out too much, but I would say this for example: when someone has a knife in his hand pointing at you with hostility, would you walk towards him?
There're so many ways to go at each turning point in the story that could make the movie a masterpiece but I feel the writer only wants to play safe. I give 5 star because the movie kept me interested to the end, although overall it's not very satisfying.

A lot of IMDb users here have deeply slammed this thriller, which I don't think is quite deserved... though I do agree that the movie could have been much better done. I will admit that there is not one boring moment in the movie, which is more than you can say for some other movies. And the movie has a good number of twists, turns, and suspenseful moments. However, the eventual payoff is very disappointing, because it doesn't really make all that much sense. Everything in the final few moments is quite rushed, and the more you think about it, you'll realize there are a number of unexplained plot holes. While this bad portion of the movie is only a few minutes long, the fact that it's the way the movie ends will leave you frustrated and make you feel you spent about 80 minutes watching the story only to be cheated. If the screenwriter had spent more time polishing the final few minutes, I really think we would have a sleeper of a thriller. But as it is, it's a failure, albeit one that does have some good moments.
Still not exactly sure how this all played out the way it did, but it passed the time.....

So many ways this movie could've been made better, not the least of which would have been some sort of resolution, but no, the film makers evidently were told to simply fill some footage with just enough story to hold viewers' interest enough to instill hope that something interesting would happen. No such luck. Netflix is really scraping the bottom of the barrel hard here. If you decide not to take my advice and you begin watching this crap, remember it ends unresolved in every way.
You've been warned!
I am surprised by the low ratings and the bad reviews it got. After watching An Affair To Die For I think this movie clearly deserves a higher rating. To me it was an entertaining movie, a story with alot of twists and turns, some that you see coming and some that you don't, but overal there is a constant suspense hanging throughout the movie. I doubt this could happen in real life but that doesn't matter to me. When I watch a movie like this one I want to be entertained, and that's exactly what I got, entertainment. The acting was okay expect for Claire Forlani. She just doesn't have it to be a good actress so that was the minor point to me. A good little thriller worth watching.

Both my wife and I were stuck finding anything we fancied watching we gave this a go as we'd pretty much seen most of the high scoring movies.
Expectation for this movie was very low but it was actually watchable it had lot of twists and turns and I thought the story and acting was decent.
We Both scored this a 5 as it was entertaining in parts.
Average!

This could have been a mini series. Very well done. Had a "The Sinner" feel to it the entire time, and in a good way. Would have loved more backstory on each character. So much angst every single minute. Hard to write a review without giving anything away. Watch this movie!

It was an entertaining film and fun to watch, though not the best acting, and a tad predictable.

Clearly a showcase for Forlani who, unfortunately, cannot act, merely pout, this film is a total waste of time. I had to keep fast-forwarding before the ennui rendered me unconscious. Pure and utter bilge.

I was hooked instantly by the title and description. Once the movie got going the suspense kept me watching. The ending was a little weak but it was an enjoyable film!

Performances were above par but it was more of an afternoon movie that you'd catch on terrestrial TV. Not many tense moments and pretty much predictable.

Good little indie flick. Definitely low budget but has some nice dynamics going for it. It's short which helps because the plot is 1 dimensional. There's nothing else but the primary. Acting was okay. Will give it a B-. Enjoy :)

It had places that didn't make sense but I thought the ending was pretty good. I won't bore you with a long critique.
Decent start to film but tried to be too clever for its own good about halfway through hence the ending was confusing
Claire Forlani looked stunning though and was the best acting wise too

I can totally see this as a one or two-act play on a small stage in an intimate theater. There are so many opportunities for actors to show off their chops. And there are twists and turns. As a movie, it's rather mediocre...probably why it's only a TV movie. But if I saw it as a stage play and it was really well acted, I think I would leave the theater feeling very satisfied.
