The Pet (2006)
a story about how someone become a slave
this is a very low production. like an American b movie. i didn't know that and that was disappointing for me. you can tell right away.
i've never reviewed a movie here but this one made me register and then write all this. and not because it's good.
let me tell you what happens in the very beginning when the 2 main characters meet. i'm assuming that's not a spoiler but if you think so, please move ahead.
a girl is having some financial trouble(can't pay the rent, etc). a guy walks up to a flower stand where the girl is working. he sorta, SORTA, smooth talks her and she agrees to go eat w/ him. at the diner, he hears her story and offers her some money and says this is for nothing in return.
they converse and she's now back at her apartment where she "flashes" back to her experience in the diner which shows her walking toward/approaching the guy's side of the booth(they sit in a booth facing each other at first) and asks if she can try his ice cream. he doesn't budge inward at all and she asks if she's supposed to eat on the floor. he says if you'd like, then i can feed you. she sits on the floor leaning on his seat and he feeds her a spoonful. THIS IS THE LITERAL SCENE! nothing more or less. happens in about 5 minutes or less.
my point is, there's no development of any kind. story and character. they just happen really fast. not like action movie fast. but pre mature ejac fast.
the concept is pretty promising. people who seem to like it seem to really like it. but...it's like having a feast in front of you but having to eat it in 5 mins. i'm not really into the s/m, d/s, BNDG kinda thing but i can appreciate those when done tastefully. this is really not in that class.
acting is pretty bad. i thought the story would draw me in eventually like another reviewer said but not for me. i've read a movie script before and those pages had more detail and emotion than the scenes in this movie.
