Some Other Woman

Knowing it was a thriller I kept watching until the end, hoping for some explanation to the madness on my screen but nothing happened. Actually, it was really like everything that happened to the characters on the screen unhappened. Some elements are thrown at us like the island legend and some of the autochthones presence at keypoints but nothing tangible and so the audience is completely lost. I did like the beginning though, the fact that we did not know who to trust -the answer to that question ended up being no one. The actors did their job really well, the only fault I find is in the writing really. The whole plot seems unfinished.

Tom Felton AKA Melfold from Harry Potter just didn't convince me. He came off more feminine than the two women who played the part of the wives. So I just couldn't get into this from the jump.

And his British squeaky accent was like fingernails across a blackboard irritating. So chalk this up top the casting director.

The dialog was campy and lame and did more harm then good, so was just another chink in the armor. I don't think I lasted to the halfway point before ditching this and moving on to something less juvenile in it's ability to provide quality entertainment. Like watching the Flintstones or the Jetsons.

A more then generous 2 out of 1,000 and a hard miss this monstrosity at all cost.

I'm so sick of all the dross. Honestly, we want quality over quantity.

Yet again, the premise of this was good. The execution was woeful. And that's a real disrespect to the actors, crew, editors, everyone.

What's the point of making stuff if it's going to end up half-arsed?

95% of this was psychological gaslighting without the tension. The last three minutes was all, oh pathetic men. What?!?!

Utter nonsense.

At this rate we'll end up with a constant YouTube in our eyes, but way less entertaining.

The problem is I watched this, so it got my eyeballs.

Do better. It's not fair on anyone involved.

Eve seems to have it all, she's living in Paradise with her husband Peter, she has a right friend circle, life is good, until her life seems to be overtaken by the beautiful Renata.

Ok, so don't ask me to explain the plot, the ending, or anything about it, as it's the epitomy of gobbledegook, I can't imagine for one second that even the writer has a clue what came of this adaptation.

For the most part, I enjoyed it, just a trippy and ambiguous thriller. The first half of the movie is very good, the second half, not so. It should have been so much better, if only Eve's journey had gone in a different direction.

It's almost like the middle of a movie, you're a little confused by the start, and you're certainly not given a confusion, you need to put the pieces together for yourself.

Drugs, fantasy? Who knows.

Tom Felton is always good value.

6/10.

Some Other Woman is a thought provoking thriller starring Amanda Crew, Tom Felton, and Ashley Green Khoury - with a supporting role for ex-NBA player, Rick Fox! Tom Felton is no longer the mean-spirited one-dimensional Malfoy from the HP universe - I thought he did a great job in his role as Peter.

The writing is smart and keeps the mystery developing without any significant lulls. Like any good thriller, you're never quite sure what may be around the corner next and you are soon drawn into the story as it unfolds.

Under the radar movie with a limited release, but worth hunting down and checking it out!
