The Matchmaker is a slow Psychological Thriller where a faraway resort is specifically designed for cheating/abusive men, promising them what they seek. The mysterious hotel then proceeds to have them trapped there. The legend has it, an ill treated woman cried for help which fell into deaf ears and only was heard by a strange creature which not just took revenge on her abuser but also cleansed his soul and returned him back to be her slave. She now runs this resort. How does the protagonist survive his fate forms rest of the story.
The pace often tests the patience and the proceedings too are extremely slow as well as less captivating. It does start of on a decent note with the introduction of Tarek the IT guy in a boring marriage, seeking something exciting. He gets infatuated towards his co-worker and follows her to this resort. He clearly was the wrong man in a wrong place. From here on, the film gets less and less interesting. The final act revealing Salma's change of mind too lacks any impact. It still is a decent idea, just the way it is executed fails to work.
