Brooks Caldwell, (Cary Elwes) an erudite and handsome lawyer, seems to have it all: wealth, social status and a red hot career. His success is, in reality, a product of his marriage to his beautiful, socialite wife, Amanda, (Terri Polo) a wealthy timber heiress. Unlike most, who would remain content to enjoy a life of luxury and privilege, Brooks continues to risk everything by having extramarital affairs. Brooks' philandering, in addition to humiliating Amanda, has driven her to the point of a mental breakdown. Having been pushed over the edge, Amanda orchestrates a just and elaborate plan to bring her husband down. When Brooks leaves for a weekend romp with his latest squeeze, (Agnes Bruckner) his life quickly descends into a bizarre, nightmarish, downward spiral.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
c-89270 What this film is about is revenge. It's listed a "dark comedy."!I guess that's a good description. I couldn't believe all of the plot twists. I never knew which direction the story was going as it's so fresh - so original. The acting was superb with Cary Elwes and Teri Polo. As soon as I finished watching it, I had to watch it again. On the second time around I noticed even more cool story twists that I noticed the first time. I checked up on the person who wrote the script and horror seems to be his usual thing. I think he is a genius for coming up with such an original script and so major League intelligent dialogue. I highly recommend this flick!
maryjwinkle So, have you ever had a boyfriend or husband from hell? One that cheated on you? This movie deals with one woman's very detailed plan to bring her scumbag cheating husband down and does she ever succeed. This movie was full of great writing and acting. I can see why it won so many awards. I've never really cared for Cary Elwes as I think he has mostly gotten by on his good looks. In this move he was fantastic. All of the other cast members did a great job as well. I just could never tell or predict which way the story was going to go and it left me on the edge of my seat. I love the way the story unfolded. Also, if you are a fan of Z Nation like me, you'll get a kick out of seeing Russell Hodgskinson in this film. He is so damned funny! It's always a treat to watch a movie that is truly original like this film. I highly recommend it although there is a lot of profanity which is why I didn't give it 10 out of 10.
reincarnation-16380 *********SPOILER FREE*********** So those of you guys who are looking for a good time by watching a movie and have some beers while you are at it, please do not watch this one.I don't usually review movies but this one made me come out here and write it so that i could save a few good souls from committing one of the biggest mistakes of their lives. This movie is a MASSIVE waste of time and energy. Actings are cliché and the story is.... well i don't think there are any English word that can do justice to this. Even after my warning,if you still decide to watch, you will understand why i named my TITLE as NOTHING. Giving it a 2 is giving it too much credit.Simply put this movie is hollow. There is nothing in the movie that i can praise about.Please DON'T INVEST TIME ON THIS.
joshuá mulder Revenge as theme for a movie mostly scares. But not in this one. Here the revenge is so unique that the quality of the cast isn't the main thing for entertainment. Seldom i watched such an original script about a lovely game of revenge! Cary Elwes is a lawyer who likes to play it dirty and unfaithful in his marriage though his wife granted him with so much love, respect and financial back-up. So highest time so give him a memorable lesson. Meet the residents of a small village where our lawyer is stranded after car trouble. One day later one tiny thing makes him the most unwanted visitor in this small and mysterious community where everybody knows everything of each other - and unlucky for him - also of him! Get some snacks & soda and invite your teen-aged kids and watch for yourself how this story will end and teach your kids that they have to follow a respectful and family-friendly life path.
