Good concept, poorly executed.

best movie i've ever seen.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

THREE WAY is a modern-day attempt to update the classic 1940s film noir genre to a modern setting, featuring a protagonist up to his neck in murky dealings as he attempts to turn a planned kidnapping to his own advantage. The title and the inclusion of some extraneous sex scenes make this look like an attempt to plough the same furrow as WILD THINGS, but this is nowhere near as good.Dominic Purcell's protagonist is one of the worst things about this: he's ineffective and weak throughout, and you just wish he'd man up and throw a punch here and there. None of the other cast members are particularly good, with Gina Gerson's role a limited one - she seems to be included for name value alone.Although the convoluted plotting could have been interesting in better hands, often the writing feels lazy here and many sequences which should be suspenseful just aren't - they're boring instead. After I finished watching, I couldn't help but consider this a waste of time.

I had never heard of Three Way, but when I was at Hollywood Video, I noticed the film and saw that Gina Gershon was in it. I like her, so I decided to go ahead and pick up the film; so I watched it last night and I was really disappointed. First off, Gina was in the movie for barely 5 minutes, the plot had potential, but most of the actors ruined the movie for me, I mean, absolutely none of the characters were at all likable. The main character, Lew, wasn't even a cool anti-hero, he just seemed to complain too much. The film wasn't very well shot and it just seemed like it was more of a chore and a movie that most of the cast and crew just wanted to get through. I also do not mind sex in a movie, but some of the sex scenes were just plain unnecessary and didn't add anything to the supposed story.Lew is a guy who just complains so much of how badly life is treating him, his wife has been murdered and he got rid of her body with her lover's as well, instead of going to the police. But he's moved on, has a new girlfriend, and they are both in debt. One night he over hears a couple plotting to kidnap a woman who has a rich family. The couple has been having an affair, and it turns out that the guy is kidnapping his wife and is expecting a million dollars, but Lew wants that money and has other plans in mind for them.Three Way isn't the worst film I saw, the beginning of the film wasn't so bad, it had enough potential, but there were things that were left unexplained. Like we see Lew go onto the boat where his wife and her lover were killed, he has a gun, was he intending to kill them or scare them or what? The scene between Lew and Florence where she was trying to seduce him didn't make much sense, I know what it was, I got the scene, but the whole story of that wasn't needed. I just think that the film could've been made better, or at least had a better cast, Gina's talent was very much wasted on this stupid film.3/10

OK, I admit that the only thing that led me to this movie was seeing the words "Dominic Purcell". Knowing how phwoar! he looks I thought I'd give it a whirl. You see a lot of him in the movie (well most of him actually in the early scenes) so in that respect it was a very satisfying experience.However the continuity must have been checked by an underpaid short-sighted person with short term memory loss and a paper bag over his head. When the gun-toting murderous brother kidnaps the 'hero' what is that random sticking plaster on Lew's arm all about? Not to mention the visible/invisible shirt. The continuity diverted my attention from the unlikeliness of some of the plot twists, or was that the whole idea? Anyway I kinda liked the end. Throughout the movie people are constantly physically assaulting Lew, (even the girlfriend) but he never offers violence back, and at one point he apologises for raising his voice to her. Frankly I'd have given her a slap for some of the things she does, and I'm a woman. I guess the lack of violence on his part is a deliberate movie plot issue.So hip hooray for him getting a break and us getting another topless moment from Mr Purcell at the end, although up till the credits I was expecting her to screw him over on the money front. And another cheer for both genders getting their kit off, and not just the females.

I don't believe this film is a serious one. We see our hero half naked or with his favorite white shirt, and he never beats someone as we expect from an ordinary Hollywood movie. Also he keeps one eye always behind the door, watching women, but never succeeds.. If you have time, take a look.. I had so much time to laugh, and had a funny night after the film with discussions about storyline and characters. The movie shocks you when you try to guess the actions "our hero" will take place. By the way, the funniest thing about movie is, "our white shirted hero" was in better condition before he takes his time for some action. I think it will be a cult movie when people realize there is such a film.. Not serious, though..
