Mafias Captive Bride is a "timid dark" themed story of a Mafia boss Sebastian Balducci, who is shot in retaliation for blowing his father's killer's head off! Elena who just escaped her perverted uncles' clutches, happens to be at the church where an injured Sebastian stumbles across her. Being a nurse Elena couldn't leave Sebastian alone and tended to his wounds. Sebastian Falls in love with her because of her beauty and because he is prepared to meet his parents that fateful night! But who saved him? Elena!
Elena is initially seen as very uncooperative and resists Sebastian and his advance towards her until she finds out the truth about her so-called fiancé who has long been cheating on her with Peyton. This was a whole turning point for Elena as till this point, she was resisting Sebastian for this low life! Slowly Sebastian lets Elena have a life, she is allowed to go back to work but this just made her prey! Elena's late father-in-law's killer's illegitimate son becomes her patient and shows up creating a friendly energy, leading her to trust him. This will haunt her later as she literally tries to kill her twice and nearly does the second time around! Thank God she has dextrocardia otherwise she would be dead!
The intimate scenes were portrayed excellently! If this wasn't a Film, I would have felt like a pervert myself for watching Sebastian and Elena's alone time! The chemistry was spot on! I liked the fact that the film showed awareness of a man trying to take control over a woman's body with birth control, at the end of the day no matter how filthy rich you are, it is her choice to get pregnant or to stop working! I applaud Dramabox for this small stance on women's rights!
A small Flaw I see in MCB is the weird AI voiceovers that occur 4 times ( 1: Sebastian holds his gun to his chest at the altar, 2: while Sebastian is describing his BDSM fantasy, 3: after Elena puts handcuffs on Sebastian in the shower, 4: After the 3rd AI we see 2 lines that are normal then back to the AI) Another flaw is that unrealistic Gun Sebastian keeps on waving around! It looks like a big toy and production didn't even bother to hide that, and I know they had better props as when Sebastian took out the assassins while following Elena in the car. Lastly, the bandages were just terrible! They seemed "dingy" and about to fall off at any moment, or just one wrap around Sebastian's body... Again all 3 of these flaws are on the production team and not the characters/ actor's fault.
Overall, It was amazing to see John Jamieson in a new avatar! He killed the Mafia Boss role with his realistic acting! For a new genre, John smashed it with his charismatic and charming skills! I think out of the 4 released projects John has; this is by far the best of the 4! John is just claiming the ladder and is not showing any signs of stopping! And we love to see that in an actor! Dedication and hard work is truly paying off for John and I wish to see him do more hits shortly!
