Scorned

I've never seen AnnaLynne McCord in anything before, I watched this film because Billy Zane was in it and he was solid in Dead Calm and Titanic.

The beginning put me off because of the unannounced text messages that were confusing for a second.

The plot is tired and inconsistent, the scenes totally unbelievable and the content is clichéd and cheesy: scorned girlfriend tortures and kills her boyfriend for cheating on her with her best friend.

However right from the moment she comes on screen AnnaLynne McCord rocks this movie all by herself. Viva Bianca is typical B movie stuff, Billy Zane is absolutely appalling barely even scraping B actor status in this, but McCord is A rated throughout, in every scene,despite having awful dialogue and poor direction in scenes.

She makes this movie totally hers and outclasses everyone else, and the score on this review is really for her alone. I recommend this movie simply for those who enjoy great acting, but only for McCord.

Rich love-rat Kevin (Billy Zane) cheats on his girlfriend Sadie (AnnaLynne McCord) with her sexy BFF Jennifer (Viva Bianca). When Sadie rumbles the infidelity (after finding saucy text messages on Kevin's cellphone) she decides to teach the naughty pair a lesson they won't forget.

Halfway through Scorned and I was about to write the film off as a total failure, when I suddenly realised that the ridiculous script and overblown performances were intentional: I was actually watching a dark comedy! I guess the fact that I couldn't discern the film's intended nature for quite some time still makes it something of a failure, but after my epiphany, the rest of the movie proved far more bearable, with AnnaLynne McCord's performance being a master-class in OTT cinematic craziness.

With Sadie prancing around in her panties, sexy Jennifer showing us exactly how she managed to turn Kevin's head, some reasonably sadistic violence (including a nasty hobbling scene inspired by Misery), and the hilarious sight of an escaped convict, tattooed over his entire face, thumbing a lift in the rain, Scorned actually proved to be a reasonably fun way to waste some time. While not the finest title on Billy Zane's filmography, it's not the biggest embarrassment on it either (there are so many to choose from).

I recently watched this with my girlfriend and the scenario intrigued us both as I myself like the idea of having the character you are fond of have the higher power. The hit back techniques against the people who have done unforgivable things to us where great and some bits made me giggle. Unsure why.

The script was absolutely terrible I thought. Anyone can write this. There's no significant meanings behind anything here. Surely there could of been a rewrite because I wanted to turn the film off in the first 10 minutes.

AnnaLynne McCord is what the film had spot on for itself. She is outstanding and she really has a sublime career in her reach. She just needs the people to work to have more experience to adapt to her incapable emotional rollercoasters that she can portray so easily. She deserves a lot from this but the other actors have very few opportunities ahead of them. Ill give this a 5 because of AnnaLynne McCord. 5/10.

The acting is not so great, not at all, not by a long shot, like C or D-List acting, but the movie is so funny that it's impossible not to watch and enjoy. Storyline could have been much, much deeper, with better background and build-up, but I mean, you just can't help stay glued.

I understand this is 'meant' to be some kind of dark comedy, but it's really just ridiculous. The acting is terrible, the story, if you can call it that, is terrible. It's trying desperately to be something it's not. I can only say Billy Zane must be in debt or something for agreeing to be in this trash.
