... View MoreThe film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
... View MoreIf you happen to be one of those viewers who can like a movie that's overflowing with despicable people, doing despicable things - with a script that's so convoluted it keeps falling over its own threads - then you might just see what a handful of viewers have jumped up and down about. Writer/director David Marconi seems to have left it 20 years too late to try a comeback. His grotty script makes for an over-burdened grueling 'entertainment' experience.After an impressive opening in the Moroccan desert the only things that keep this alive are: impressive Cinematography by Zuric born Thomas Hardmeier - a music score by Robert Horowitz, that deserves to grace a far better movie. Some performances are OK but with characters so unrelentingly nasty it's difficult to muster the effort needed in your brain to go the distance - brief overview: she's setting him up for murder on their honeymoon (?) but wait, seems he's also setting her up...hang on...their'e all setting each other up in revenge for the death of whats-is name, while whosie-majig is, is...who isn't doing what to who!. While with more restraint it might have been so much better - only those who enjoy Tarantino type empty, SUPER ugly characters could be fooled into thinking this worth staying with.
... View MoreSuperb! This movie literally testifies that you do not need language to convey emotions, hidden desires, contrivances and treachery. From the beginning till the very end this movie enraptures you. Takes you to the planet wherein I was reminded of Jonathan Swift's oft used theme of satire in the novels, describing human follies. The film is replete with intrigues and foibles and the audience gets confused as to whom to trust and not to trust. Husband and wife out on honeymoon. Nothing great right? But this wife is scheming to kill her husband methodically with the help of her lover. However due to strange circumstances or should we say divine intervention(Deus ex machina) they come across an accident and herein various survivors from different nationalities come together. The plot thickens when we get to know that the husband was well aware of the plot to bump him off. Wife's lover is seriously wounded in the accident. Mean while the wife gets involved with the wanted smuggler from the desert, apparently due to her greed fro wealth. The climax is equally titillating. The wife tries to escape from the clutches of her husband by disappearing in between the travel with her companions, but is shrewdly caught by her husband in disguise and put to death in a rather brutish way. A desert woman carrying a small baby turns out to be a kidnapper who is apprehended by the undercover cop who tactfully retrieves the baby from her and kills the vicious father of the baby. The end where the husband and the undercover cop exchange a look of satisfaction and convey the message that justice has been served is truly significant. All in all I must say the movie has been beautifully scripted and deserves more grading than has been given to it.
... View MoreGreat movie with two story lines coming together. Some surprising elements, keeps you entertained you from the start till end. Even the end is surprising. The acting is great, the bad guy plays a great role. I just don't know where the lady in black came from at the end in the black sheets and the diamond shoes. furthermore i onder why i need to write a 10 line comment. only reason i made an account is because 5,3 rating is way too low. this movie deserves more. As said by another reviewer. So go watch this one and rate it accordingly. now all i need is another 3 lines. So hows the weather over there? It sucks here that i can tell you.
... View MoreI didn't know anything about this movie before I watched it. I just took a chance on it. I agree with other reviewers in that the scenery was a big part of the movie's attraction. There were several unpredictable twists and turns to the plot, and I thought it was pretty well acted, as other reviewers have reported. One thing really kept bothering me, I guess because I helped raise several children of my own. And that was, wouldn't that baby get fussy after not having been fed? It must have been at least, what, 48 hours? Well, think about it. I'm just saying. I put it down as a possible spoiler, because, really, I think the less you know about this movie before seeing it, the more entertained you will be. I enjoyed it despite that one nagging question.
