As I watched this movie I saw some really huge red flags that makes a movie great and want me to purchase the movie. This movie is missing a storyline. When you meet Madison and Michael married and in a happy relationship. You don't see the dynamic of the relationship. It quickly goes from Michael being this amazing girl, Chelsea warning Madison about Michael then Michael already hitting her. You do not get the chance to know and relate to Madison. Then she's pregnant, faked her own death to get away from Michael. Madison creates a new life, finds a new relationship.Michael finds out Madison fakes her death and then you know the rest.This felt like a college film maker making a movie for the first time. Transitions was bad. You are going from scene to scene. Some of the camera shots were off. Things were happening too soon without any explanation. You can pretty much know what is going to happen before it happens.If you have not seen Sleeping with the Enemy, starring Julia Roberts., I suggest watching that movie first and then you will see a resemblance this movie has to it except Sleeping with the Enemy is better. But my real honest opinion is don't waste your time with this movie.
No imagination from the writers, it's the Black version of SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY, STARRING JULIA ROBERTS. Julia character fakes death by drowning, this version fake by car accident. Instead of Julia's character stealing apples, this version the male neighbor steals lemons. Instead of Julia's mother in the hospital, this version, the father's in the hospital.it goes on, and on and on... I mean really disappointing!,,
Badly done. Although there are some good acting efforts, the production can't support the actors. It's also way to close to Sleeping with the Enemy to be a movie on it's own. It's almost a mirror so what was the point in making it? It seemed to have been shot with a cell phone. Very disappointing as a result.
I have definitely scene better melodrama. I was expecting some thing better considering that it was released in theaters. So the first twenty minutes is dull. Real dull, almost makes me want to leave the theater. So like in the movie The Perfect Guy, Madison thought she found the perfect guy, but the fact that he does not want children is a contradiction to her wanting to be a mommy. So they start to argue, and he gets psychical with her, showing his true colors. She tries to deal with it for a little while, but then realizes it's not worth it and finds a way out. This is when the real action happens.The movie is fine for watching late at night on BET but I was expecting better from a major release in theaters. Something like No Good Deed or something. Maybe that was too high on the scale to expect this movie to be ( I mean, I can't expect anyone to be as good as the combo of Idris Elba and Taraji P. Henson) Taye Diggs is good in it, as Alex, the guy Madison meets after running away from the perfect guy. Very charming. Not Charming enough to hold this together, however. I will say that every women in this film was really beautiful. Even in small roles as waitresses and Nurses, any women who had a line in the movie was smoking hot. That did catch my attention.Really cool that R&B Artist Marques Houston Wrote and produce this thing, but all and all it's still really generic. If you saw one on BET you saw them all, and that's the only place you should watch it.
