Simply Perfect

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Charlie Le Blanc is a wealthy businessman married to a beautiful and young woman named Lilly, whom he loves very much. They have a great life, but Charlie discovers that he has only a few months to live, and decides to test Lilly's fidelity to see if she really deserves all of his money. He then hires a young guy called Jimmy, a handsome law student, to seduce his wife. He will pay Jimmy 40.000 dollars, and since Jimmy really needs this money for his university, he accepts the deal.Eventually, all Jimmy's efforts to sleep with Lilly fails. She is truly loyal to her husband. But when Lilly discovers (by Charlie's secretary) what her husband was trying to do, a very dangerous game starts to begin.I expected much more from ''Tempted'',specially after reading about the plot. In the beginning, the movie is good, but after the middle of it becomes very cheap. The only reason I give a higher rate for it, is because I liked Burt Reynolds performance. The rest of the movie is a big cliché, with average script and actors(except Burt), and even some awkward situations.

I found the film nailed me from the beginning, this film has nearly everything a decent film has to have , good-great acting, an original concept, a good trace of the pilot, many turns and twists...See this film without high expectations, its not a classic , but a film that will keep you on your seat while watching it, thats for sure.

"Tempted" tries to be one of those sweaty New Orleans noir crime flicks about infidelity, jealousy, deceit, temptation, treachery, and murder. Unfortunately the film plays out like a B-flick in all respects from shallow characters whom were not given a reason to care if they live or die to a convoluted and minimally interesting story with soporific side effects. A marginal small screen watch at best for crime junkies only. (D+)

I went to see "TEMPTED" at the Fantasy Filmfest in Cologne, Germany.I´m not going to give away anything about the plot. I will just say, that this one is a truly good moody thriller, which is played excellently and executed (technically) equally good. This movie is a must for those who liked "WILD THINGS", and it´s also a must for everyone who didn´t like the aforementioned movie for it´s too many plot twists. "TEMPTED" always stays believable as the plot and the characters are concerned. I very much enjoyed the location (New Orleans)and together with the thriller plot it adds up to be very moody. Last but not least, the interaction between Burrows and Facinelli is very believable and sexy; not to mention Reynolds great performance!All in all just two words: Watch it!!!
