The Provocateur

If you're going to create an erotic thriller perhaps cast an attractive lead? This woman would get to attention from me on my drunkest of days. Which is odd cause she looks perfectly normal in other images so perhaps the director is just terrible?

Which means it fails at selling the storyline of these two "lovers." Putting "passion" in the title, but not having it between the characters is just setting yourself up to fail. This is one of those movies that more seasoned Lifetime actors and actresses would have never taken.

The scene at the violin concert was so cringe that I stopped myself from laughing. It was supposed to be dramatic with the strings in the background, but it did not work. I really don't want to go through the plot, because I'm working on not doing that i my reviews, but you can give this a miss. It's one of the worst of the year.

There is no twist if you're expecting one. And I low key was. But it's all played straight and there are no surprises. Even the couple of jump scares (which get me in any movie) weren't great.

She's being harassed by a stranger, so she puts her safety in the hands of a stranger?? Mmkay. The soft core description that other contributors are giving is accurate, but unfortunately for this movie, they don't even qualify for those late night Showtime movies from the 90s. They lacked all chem and I'm just like, why is she so trusting of this total stranger? Maybe it's bad acting or bad direction (or both), but she's never believably vulnerable even though her life is being threatened. I get this new relationship is supposed to "reignite" something in her, but the lead actress is so one note and charisma-less that I can't bring myself to care. Also what does the A plot (her stalker) and the B plot (their "passion) have to do with each other lol? Either plotline could have been dropped and it wouldn't have substantially affected the movie at all.

Filler movie, terrible movie, give it a pass.

Another thing that irritated me about this movie is, people lose phones all the time. The fact that she didn't 1.get a new one or 2.call her phone company to turn it off etc etc just shows this movie is using very old plot points for this. It's simply not believable that she would not have had her phone bricked to help deal with what her stalker was doing. No, to her it made more sense to try to go to his house and retrieve it.

I expected so much more from this movie. Was the plot about sex or the life of Hope being threatened? The sex scenes were totally ridiculous especially the shower scene. I would put that more in the category of pornography. For a girl who supposedly was supposed to be so conservative, she certainly didn't live up to that image. As for Victor Alfieri, his acting was mediocre and it seemed that his body exposure played a very important role. There was little chemistry between Hope and James especially during that horrible dance routine or whatever you want to call it. I think that Victor should be more selective in the movie roles that he chooses.

Could not be worse.. Kinda creepy movies and no one could make it worse.. Everyone is so freshman in filming, writing and directing.

One of movies you wish you never seen.

No wonder nobody famous has been involved in the movies.

Excellent and well done. A huge effort was invested in the realization of this film. The producer and director tried their best to ruin this movie. The main actors made a superhuman effort to make their so-called acting as unconvincing and superficial as possible. 10 minutes of this movie seems like an eternity. What a relief when it was over! Kudos to the entire team - you managed to make a film that is impossible to forget. Guaranteed worst performance of the year.
