Le Prix de la trahison

It's been a while since I seen a good film, and this keeps you on the Edge of a the seat,

There is not much I can say without spoiling the film, But a must see Movie it's a constant flow of Romance, Action and Thriller throughout The film,

I would give this a rating of 7, because: A good story line, but nothing new it's been done before, The ending was good, but could have been better "they cut it too short" There was also two actors that I personally fort they could not act for a toffee:-p But overall I was impress and would watch this film again given the choice.

Every once in a blue moon a straight to DVD movie has the power to take me out of a drunken stooper and sober me up. This is one of those films. Flying onto DVD under the radar and under the recommendation from many customers I decided to check this little gem out. The cover art is pretty generic photoshop and unappealing. And the casting of Christian Slater doesn't bode too well however kick ass Jenna Dewan of Step Up and Tamara and sexy Brian Geraghty in full on hunk mode does add a bit of intrigue. Despite them I still decided to avoid it at first. Boy I'm glad I checked this movie out. A down on their luck good natured young couple come upon a bag full of dirty cop money. They flee with it and find themselves on the run from corrupt cops dealing with one bad turn after the next. Christian Slater is actually quite menacing as the films villain but the real treasures here are Dewan and Geraghty. Their chemistry is realistic and relatable. The movie falls into a True Romance type category and borrows heavily from that film and all those other Bonnie and Clyde type films like it. But the characters are very well drawn in this version and you really care about themPlus the performances are top notch and they are very likable. Here are two actors in desperate need of a deserving career. Both sexy and talented. I really wish this film would have been given a chance it's much better than most released in theatres and is actually professionally made with a clean gritty look to it. It's a shame that such a good film would be passed over because of lack of star power. But trust me it's worth a look. It's a prime hot rental at my job and from everyone whose renting it. it's getting really good word of mouth. Hopefully that will give some credit to the talented people involved.

***.5/5

Christian Slater released two films at approximately the same time, "He Was a Quiet Man", and this particular piece. "Love Lies Bleeding" is a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, but imagine Clyde as a miserably ignorant, somewhat philosophical "nice guy".

A young couple, Duke and Amber are living together on the wrong side of the tracks, dealing with poverty, crime, and general economic misfortune until coming upon a bag of money belonging to their drug-dealing neighbors. Also sought after by dirty cop Pollen, they go on the run to escape their depressing lives and find their dream life of a house with a yard and 2.5 children...etc...

Jenna Dewan is really developing quality acting skills, especially opposing Christian Slater's frightening "dirty cop" routine. Christian Slater once again shows his talents and versatility (very obvious if going between this film and "He Was a Quiet Man). This was a fantastic role for him. Brian Geraghty was slightly over-done, but it suited the role (Iraq war-vet that didn't come home quite right).

Overall, this film was chock-full of stereotypes and stayed rather cookie-cutter and predictable throughout. However, it was entertaining, and kept you going right until the end. Hence my rating of 8/10. It's not perfect by any means, but if you're not looking for substance, it's just a good entertaining film.

This was somewhat a routine set of stories brought up as a single movie to entertain the viewer.The film was not boring though.It was thrilling but nothing to jump up and down about.You know what i mean.The main character "Pollen" could have done a little bit more justice to his character than he did in this movie. Christian Slater does a somewhat minor role compared to roles he played in Broken Arrow etc.In this movie Slater becomes the bad guy who is after the bag of money he lost during a shoot out. Can be recommended if you have gone through all the movies in your movie store and left nothing else to watch when it comes to "Thrillers"

This is my first review as I felt compelled to write to say just how bad this film is.

The acting is awful. The direction is awful and this type of storyline has been done to death.

What was Christian Slater thinking ?

I always watch films to the end of the titles but I was sooo glad when the, "Action", finished, I couldn't bear to see the names associated with this monstrosity.

If you have 94 minutes to spare, just go and stare at a wall, you may find it more entertaining.
