I almost didn't watch this film because of the very low ratings it got here at IMDb.
It's not that bad a movie, it is watchable, and held my interest, which is saying a lot for a film these days. I was able to tell who was who, and what their relationship was to the other characters and what their motivations were. There was a story and plot and it was clear and easy to follow.
Believable? No, not really, but how many thriller films are.
I admit the writing and directing aren't the best, but I have seen far worse. For some unknown reason, the director seemed to be in love with Matt Long's blue-green eyes. We get several close-ups of his eyes or just one eye during the film. Also the director over-did the flashback memories of the Dave character, showing the same ones in a rapid-fire manner. And the ending is completely off the wall as far as believability, but it'll surprise you for sure, and I found it amusing. That aside, it's a good enough thriller.
The story revolves around Dave Ford played by Matt Long, who put me in mind quite a bit of a young Tom Cruise. Dave has gone to New York to study to be an attorney and has a blond girlfriend, named Claudia,(Pell James) who is a journalist.
He can't quite get the beautiful Emily (Emmanuelle Chriqui) from his hometown out of his mind, however, even though when he left, she had his best friend, Brian,(Luke Mably) as her boyfriend.
When he returns to his hometown for his father's funeral, he discovers Emily is now married to Brian. However, his passions for Emily haven't died and apparently neither have hers for him.
Soon they are involved in a hot and heavy affair, which of course is going to have consequences. These consequences are pretty big - possible domestic violence, attempted blackmail, and a couple of people turning up dead.
