Crimes of Passion - Passione criminale

Crimes of Passion serves twists and turns at every move and is worth watching until the end.

An unfaithful husband and his mistress set up a sex harassment charge only to be tricked at every turn.

Jonathan Higgins is suitably pathetic as the dithery,unfaithful husband, Dina Meyer stunning as the temptress.

The location scenery in this film is beautiful and sensitively shot

The final shot is worth waiting for and should make errant husbands wonder a/ why any woman would actually fall for them and b/ why any man should even think about straying.

Delicious.

Had this movie reflected the normal, routine acting, direction and production values of a made-for-TV movie, it would have to be rated 5 to 6. But this was a big screen quality production which proved it can be done for a modest fee. The little known actors were excellent, the lighting, sound and photography were as good or better than the most expensively produced big screen movies. The plot, while very good, was greatly enhanced by the quality of the production. We'll certainly research, record and view more made-for T V movies, based on this experience and we'll specifically seek out the offerings of the production company responsible for this film.

No pun intended - and hopefully none of the characters is named/called Benjamin. While the title talks about Passion - it is more about money here. And you will be able to decipher that for yourself. The movie and all of its twists are predictable - at least that is how I felt about them, you may feel a bit differently.

All that aside, we have the absolutely phenomenal Dina Meyer in this. But she is not the main role ... some Dude is the main role and has to ... well it doesn't really matter. Unfortunately the acting and the script are subpar at moments. Still I've seen worse movies so there is that too.

Fun movie with some (predictable) twists and corporate shenanigans and skullduggery , Dina Myer shines as usual. Worth watching again.

This is a slick roller coaster ride of a crime drama. because of the many, many, plot twists it's hard to summarize this movie without giving away something so all I can say is that this movie starts with a plan for a married man along with a beautiful co-worker of his to defraud his employers out of millions of dollars and ends up with blackmail and murder. All of this is common in movies like this, but what isn't so common is that in Crimes of Passion, while you may think you have everything worked out but at the finale you never know who is going to walk away alive.

I gave it seven stars out of ten only because there was maybe one or two plot twists too many; those last two being just a little too improbable to really set well. At the end all I could only say was, "Oh, good grief!" Like all roller coaster rides, this one left me dizzy at end, but it kept me watching nonetheless.
