User Reviews

Lifetime Channel could have done a better job.

I went to this movie mostly because of the show times of other movies we really wanted to see that we would have had to wait several hours for. I read one of the user's reviews and thought, "maybe not too bad" and it had the word "thriller" as in crime thriller in the IMDb heading. I thought it may be a nice twisted psycho type flick, spiced up a bit by the sexual addiction line.

"Based on the best-selling novel by Zane, ADDICTED is a sexy and provocative thriller about desire and the dangers of indiscretion."...Lions Gate Plot summary.

It was totally off the mark. Bad acting, bad scripting, bad direction. I have seldom been mislead by user reviews (often by Critics) so I was upset. Money and time totally wasted. There were only 10 others in the theater so that should have been a warning. Hopefully, I haven't given anything away here other than a warning...don't go!
