Envy: A Seven Deadly Sins Story

I must say Envy was much better then Lust. Now Rollins has always been a believable actress in my eyes, and I enjoy anything she plays in. So majority of this movie was on her shoulders. Her costar Serayah was a face I have not seen before, and although there were times I rolled my eyes at her acting.

For the most part, there was never a dull moment with her around. Beautiful and very sassy, she easily fit the roll for Envy. I think she should have played in Lust, tbh. This was a slow burn, but a great finish. Lust felt like it was a bit to preachy, although this movie felt like just the right amount.

I love Lifetime movies and I cannot wait for the 5 other sins to be released. If they are anything like this one I know I will enjoy it. Now, was it a story that has been done before, yes. But the actors made it come alive, I wish I had someone like Mr. Powell in my life!

It was a lesson movie, that made you appreciate the things you have, because you never know when it could all go away. Wish Da Brat had more lines, I love her. I recommend if you already love Lifetime movies.

I sat down to watch the 2021 drama "Seven Deadly Sins: Envy" here in 2021 without ever having heard about the movie. And with it being a Lifetime movie, then I figured that I would probably be in for one their usual pseudo-sappy movies. But still, I opted to watch "Seven Deadly Sins: Envy" as it was a movie that I hadn't already seen.

And while "Seven Deadly Sins: Envy" is watchable, it was indeed an archetypical trademark Lifetime movie, for better or worse. So if you have seen anything from Lifetime before, then you know what you are getting yourself into here when you sit down to watch "Seven Deadly Sins: Envy" from writer Nneka Gerstle and director Damon Lee.

The storyline was adequate, but it was rather bland and generic. And I will say that "Seven Deadly Sins: Envy" didn't really offer anything new, so it felt like this was all something that had been done and seen before in other movies. So writer Nneka Gerstle didn't exactly manage to impress me with this 2021 drama.

The acting performances in the movie were actually fair enough. I will say that the actors and actresses in the movie actually put on good enough performances, given the blandness of the script and storyline.

I am sure that the is an audience out there for a movie such as "Seven Deadly Sins: Envy". I wasn't exactly the target audience, so I wasn't especially impressed with what director Damon Lee delivered. While it was watchable, it is hardly a movie that I will be returning to watch for a second time.

Without spoiling anything, then I have to say that the ending to the movie was just a bit too much of a sappy cliché. But hey, this is a Lifetime movie after all.

My rating of "Seven Deadly Sins: Envy" lands on a five out of ten stars.

I usually don't watch lifetime movies but this was really good! It gets pretty intense at times because the girl gets wilder and wilder. Fitting title great movie.
