marc n Boring... Almost hard to watch. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/30/25 Full Review Stephen M Really enjoyed it, a lot like Unfaithful from years ago. Ben Affleck pretty much plays himself married to Jennifer Lopez, Anna DE Armas is fantastic as a binge drinking promiscuous wife. The plot and pace really kick in towards the end with a climatic finale that leaves you on the edge of your seat with a 'will he? won't he' theme which is typical of a Patricia Highsmith novel/story. Loved it, shame it's got a very low rating. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review Green C Doesn't deserve such a low rating. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/17/25 Full Review Audience Member The cinematography was quite nice, but it might also be largely because of Ana de Armas. It is probably a bit shallow of me, but I really cannot deny that she’s the main reason I was able to keep my eyes on the screen. So beautiful, aesthetically pleasing, and alluring with such a compelling presence. Oh, to be blessed with the ability to command attention with your mere expressions! However, we also cannot deny that this film has diverted quite a bit from the book. Obviously, the modernisation of it was well-appreciated from my end, but it certainly left me perplexed with a flurry of questions. As in, “Is this really normal?”and, “What are their motivations? Why are they the way that they are?”The different ending was a welcome change for me though! But yes, a lot of details were also omitted, which made it feel like it was just a weird collection of beautifully-shot scenes sprinkled with some random ones for transition rather than an actual film. Did they do that because it’s supposed to be a thriller/mystery? Because then someone should tell the writers that suspense in film isn’t as simple as cutting out certain information and leaving it at that. You do eventually have to resolve those questions brought upon by suspense. For a thriller/mystery, it surely did not try to maintain either of those. Even the thrill of the sexual tensions were so short-lived—almost like a budding arousal that never reaches a climax. Like a person leading someone on, all that jazz. Meanwhile, the way they revealed the mystery of it all was also not too… remarkable? Haha. Honestly, all the characters were seriously unlikeable; even Ana de Armas’, probably due to the lack of personality. Absolutely love the relationship between Vic and Trix though; at least they built that one okay. Perhaps the film would have done better as a short series where there’s more room for world building? I would say, go ahead and give it a watch. Still a nice movie to pass the time especially if you’re doing stuff like chores or stationary hobbies; like, say, ironing, knitting, dishwashing, and even exercising. Just don’t expect too much of it and enjoy the show! Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review Nick G Didn't really enjoy anything about this film. After the first 20 minutes, I was convinced this was a direct rip off of Eyes Wide Shut. As the film went on, it was clear that it had a different story, but much less interesting. The set up dragged on way too long and the protagonist is very dry. I would not waste 2 hours of life watching this garbage. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Luis M Not as Idiotic as "Gone Girl"... but close, the thing is, this movie was doing kinda OK until the very end, although there were obvious problems such as lack of a character arc for the Ben Affleck's character, lack of activity by the police, etc. (And FYI I don't care what the book says, we are rating the movie, different media and execution). The ending is terrible, it feels like the director and writers quit and the producers decided to leave it as it was instead of working on a good ending. The only good thing about this movie is, as always, ANA de Armas, she breathes interest and fun into Every movie she is in!! she is a breath of fresh air!! but not even her can save the incompetence of the writers.
