Adulterers

What even?? How did they make an entire movie without anyone telling them they weren't in Alabama or something? Makes the movie pretty hard to watch and totally unconvincing. Ew. Every single time Samuel spoke, I cringed. I was born and raised in southern Louisiana and no one I have ever know sounds like that haha.

I would not recommend to anyone.

I really can't even write ten lines about this garbage movie.. it's pretty dull and inauthentic.

I hope I've written enough at this point. Watch it for fifteen minutes before you turn it off like I did. You will be let down.

Not every film you see is something you've been anticipating for a long time. Sometimes you see a movie and think "hmm that looks interesting." Such was the case for Adulterers. It's safe to say most people will go into this film with that mind set and hopefully they'll remember that this film is an independent project with a lower budget.

Right off the back, it's important to know this script is all over the place. Dialogue in most scenes feels so off it's difficult to listen to. It doesn't help when the acting feels so overdone that it's not being delivered. There are several occasions where some tension will build only to be torn down by the following line being terribly delivered or a reaction from the characters that feels completely unbelievable; cringe-worthy even.

The premise itself is simple and a perfect set up for a thriller. Your average guy comes home on his anniversary to find his wife cheating on him and the rest of the film experience is to find out whether or not he kills them. Moving along the story, you learn certain "twists" about certain characters which keeps things interesting and new. A few of these attempt are indeed interesting. The rest feel out of place and make you ask "Wait... what?" Outrageous and disturbing behavior/content aside, you may wonder why you're sticking around to see how it ends.

Here are some almost strengths. Yes, there are a few of those. As mentioned before, despite how bad the writing might be, the filmmakers do a good job and holding on to you to see how it ends. Tension does indeed build enough so that you're a part of the thrill ride. The progression and structure of the story itself is compelling. Granted, it's obvious the filmmaker was trying desperately hard to be a Scorsese/Shyamalan (early Shyamalan). However, it makes for a solid and thought-provoking ending to the film.

Aside from the "strength" it's hard to recommend this film to anyone who's looking for an absolutely fantastic thriller. It won't be found here but if you're searching around Netflix and have nothing to watch. There might be worse films to use an hour and a half with.

I enjoyed this film, while knowing it's far from great art. It was like watching an episode of Jerry Springer or a trashy soap opera. Watchable and fun. It was intense, quite well shot and had a few good plot twists. The acting is a lot better than most films of this kind. Sean Faris was over the top, but in a way I liked.

I get the impression that some of the scenes designed to appeal to people with interracial cuckold fantasies.

The only complaint I have is that I feel the film was wanting us to side with the character Sam a little too much. Yes, being cheated on is heartbreaking, but he does some truly indefensible things.

Overall, if you are looking for something that is the film equivalent of fast food and/or like films about sexual jealousy and revenge, you will probably enjoy this.

The film begins with Sammy returning home early from work to surprise his wife with gifts on their anniversary. He finds her home early and she is "getting busy" with another man. He quietly closes the door, goes and grabs his guns then comes back up stairs...

The question that comes up is: Who has the right to judge? Does Sammy have the right to judge? Just because someone betrays us, are we supposed to take the law into our own hands? Or does this go deeper than that. Is it Justice Sammy wants?

I appreciate the excellent acting given by the characters. Their response to the situation: the anguish, the hurt, the sadness and pain could be felt in this film. I gave this film a high rating because of topic matter and acting skills.

This film contains all kinds of graphic language, violence, and nudity. Just a warning.

Story was good but the concept was old. One time watch movie nothing much. Direction was great, i enjoyed the end alot. Thank you.
