Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

dbdumonteil A story the average viewer has seen at least twenty times or more.The screenplay is almost entirely based on unexpected twists the last of which is so implausible only someone who has never seen HG Clouzot's "Les Diaboliques" will be surprised.That said ,Halle Berry is a solid thespian and a very attractive woman,but here she screams to no avail.Peter Green tries and tries to be threatening and scary.Clive Owen does not seem to believe in his part.The cops don't either.Only Clea Lewis displays a sense of humor and is the only one on the screen to have plenty of go.For a rainy day...Barely...

TxMike Halle Berry, around 30 in this movie, not yet the big name she was to become, plays Josie Potenza, married to an older wealthy man after they had barely known each other. Her husband Tony is played ably by veteran Christopher McDonald. His drinking problem seems to get in the way in his marriage. However, they talk, he agrees to try to quit drinking, and they drive into the Pacific Coast wilderness to spend some secluded time together. However, Tony is called back to work and Josie stays behind to enjoy the solitude. She makes a mistake when she goes to a local bar alone, attracts the attention of a strange looking man Cole (Peter Greene) but, in the cool and wet he gives her a ride back to the cabin, apparently an OK guy.Now, I can't say anymore about the actual story without giving away some key themes. I wouldn't necessarily recommend the movie to anyone, but if you see it, much better not to know too much. Berry is nice looking, the acting is pretty much what it should be, but the story relies on some twists near the end, and when it was over I felt a bit cheated. It isn't a totally bad movie, but it isn't a very good one either.SPOILERS. Even though Josie claims she loves her husband, she is at the same time having an affair with Jake Golden (Clive Owen). When in the wild she had to rebuff advances by Cole, even shooting and grazing him on the side of the face. He ends up back at her home, and follows her husband, getting into his car at night during an ATM stop, making him drive to a park, where he chased him down and shot him multiple times. Turns out he had been hired by Jake to get rid of Tony, but it was supposed to happen in the wild. Jake was broke and this was part of his plan to get Josie and her dead husband's riches. But Josie had a plan of her own, with Jake's wife Nora, and in the final scene we see Nora and Josie going away together, having disposed of the bad guy Cole and each of their cheating husbands.

April_TX2004 I watched this movie around 3 o'clock in the morning and I wasnt really impressed.First of all, How can you trust a guy like Peter Greene(Cole Wilson)? This film was predictable in many parts and the lighting was really bad.However,Halle Berry was very pretty in this movie and yes she actually does cry.Just dont make the same mistake I did and stay up til' 3 o'clock in the morning.But what the heck I was bored.To wrap this comment up I give it a 6/10 *

Michael O'Keefe Amy Holden Jones writes and directs this tense drama about a beautiful woman(Halle Berry)who feels her wealthy husband(Christopher McDonald) is not spending enough time with her. She makes a mistake telling her marital woes to a stranger who decides to help her out by killing her husband. She of course becomes the prime suspect and ends up dealing with a double cross times two. Her husband left a strong prenup in his favor and did not leave a will. The finale offers one hell of a twist. Rounding out the cast are:Clive Owen, Peter Greene, Frankie Faison and Clea Lewis. At times this thriller drags a bit; but I did not watch this for the story. I watched this for the sensual Halle Berry.
