Avouterie

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I loved the plot, the storyline and the characters. I enjoyed all the actors and their roles.

When I first started watching I was immediately hooked. I actually thought the story would go in a different direction.

Each character revealed details about who they were and how they fit into the film. Each character seemingly from different backgrounds yet all had similarities. Fear is a powerful emotion that can often trigger raw reactions. There was the apparent damsel of innocence to the damsel of despair. Yet each were tied to a great deal of guilt.

The movie also reveals the abuse of managerial power and how such power was directly related to how a manager's distrust impacted his staff.

The drama starts from the instant the film starts to roll. It immediately starts to reveal the sad side of a love built on scathing mental health issues.

I didn't overthink the details, the characters I just enjoyed the film. It was fantastic!

I found this movie to be very entertaining and well acted. Lots of tension trying to determine whether he is going to shoot one or both of the adulters. I found myself thinking that you really couldn't blame him if he did, given the circumstances. Regarding the accents that some have a problem with, who cares. That really shouldn't detract from the movie at all.

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.

Sean Faris should win an award for the worst Louisiana accent ever. He sounds like a southern Texas teenage girl going with that trendy vocal fry voice. Wtf. How could anyone who has ever been to New Orleans think that was OK? I might consider watching the movie again. I'd have to mute the audio and turn on subtitles. Terrible.... Pretty much ruined my whole day. Sad because the plot seemed like it would be interesting. I'm going to drink away any memory of that horrible voice. What a waste. How many lines do I need for this? How many lines do I need for this? How many lines do I need for this? How many lines do I need for this?
