... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreI really like Ray Liotta in every movie - and he does not disappoint in an amazing performance. However, we have come so far as a society that people can actually believe that a person who aims to divide a marriage by either party is an act of love. Its not - its really an act of hate. .
... View MoreI won't attempt to summarize the plot, such as it is. Suffice it to say that every single character in this film manages to behave in the least straightforward and believable manner in every situation. The heavy hand of a poor screenwriter is evident throughout, as all the characters seem more manipulated than motivated. The writer/director, Paul Schrader, was an unfamiliar directorial name to me until I watched this mess, and his resume makes it clear why. He's had a few successes as a writer, but pretty much all of them were directed by Martin Scorsese, who is very definitely not on hand to salvage this disaster.Fiennes and Mol are game for the most part, and do what they can with the laughable dialogue. Ray Liotta, however, is at his over-the-top worst. He can be effective with the right part and some directorial restraint (see *Blow*, for instance) but neither is present here.Avoid this and find something better to do.
... View MoreWhat can I say about this movie, when I see one of my favorite movies underrated? Are IMDb users not fond of romantic movies, or they do not review high of that kind of movies.This story might be simple, but emotional movies only need to provoke emotions. This movie definitely stirs romantic emotions. The acting was so good, actors were so emotional, actress was so romantic and beautiful,the duologue was such that you want to memorize. What do you expect after these from a romantic movie? Viewers searching for a pure romantic film, never miss it. Do not be mislead after seeing such a tiny IMDb score. The favorite duologue of this film is' You will never be loved the way I love you.'
... View MorePlease spare yourself. It is humorless without merit. The dual role played by the unbearably unwatchable and quasi-intense Fiennes (proving acting is not a genetic trait), is excruciating bizarre and Gretchen Mol must have wondered after and hour of plodding dialog how she was not supposed to realize that the new mysterious Hispanic guy was her old flame. It's really bad. The only faintly amusing scene is where Ray Liotta acts so frustratedly since the rest of the cast were so - duh - lifeless. When he later says he is going to kill everyone I really thought it would be Fiennes, Mol, then the director, the screenplay writer (same guy, maybe), the cameraman before turning it on himself. Even the ending is so cheesy I felt the audience should have been on life-support. I kid you not. Terrible. Not for "connoisseurs of the simply awful", it's not that interesting. I'm sorry I couldn't give it less than zero. Some people gave it a ten. How? They misread the instructions? They are in the film, maybe? Liotta would give it a zero, I'm sure. Watch something else!!!
