A Bit of Bad Luck

Maybe 7 years ago this was considered good. But in these days. No way. Very confusing, bad acting, not convincing, not catchy and in no way attractive move. Bad. Very bad ughh

I first saw this film in a theater. I watched it again last night. Really good flick! I first I hated the main character but, after all the hell he was put through I started feel sorry for him even though the who situation was funny. The ending was a surprise. Great actors..

So, have you ever had a boyfriend or husband from hell? One that cheated on you? This movie deals with one woman's very detailed plan to bring her scumbag cheating husband down and does she ever succeed. This movie was full of great writing and acting. I can see why it won so many awards. I've never really cared for Cary Elwes as I think he has mostly gotten by on his good looks. In this move he was fantastic. All of the other cast members did a great job as well. I just could never tell or predict which way the story was going to go and it left me on the edge of my seat. I love the way the story unfolded. Also, if you are a fan of Z Nation like me, you'll get a kick out of seeing Russell Hodgskinson in this film. He is so damned funny! It's always a treat to watch a movie that is truly original like this film. I highly recommend it although there is a lot of profanity which is why I didn't give it 10 out of 10.

The greatness of this film is in the writing. If you enjoy dark comedies, than this film is for you. This movie is well acted with Cary Elwes and Teri Polo starring. Brooks (played by Cary Elwes) lives a life of luxury thanks to his uber rich wife Amanda (Teri Polo). Brooks has anything a man could desire but, it's not enough. Brooks weakness is that he likes to have affairs with other women. He has driven his wife to the point where she is crazy and decides to plot some major revenge. When her plan is carried out, all hell breaks loose. Suddenly, Brooks is caught up in a cat and mouse game for his very survival. The movie is a bit wordy but very intelligent like a Whit Stillman movie almost. I think it's fair to say that the movie is for a more sophisticated audience who can appreciate the black humor. I can't say enough about it. after initially renting the film, I went back and purchased it on Amazon so I could watch it again.

What this film is about is revenge. It's listed a "dark comedy."!I guess that's a good description. I couldn't believe all of the plot twists. I never knew which direction the story was going as it's so fresh - so original. The acting was superb with Cary Elwes and Teri Polo. As soon as I finished watching it, I had to watch it again. On the second time around I noticed even more cool story twists that I noticed the first time. I checked up on the person who wrote the script and horror seems to be his usual thing. I think he is a genius for coming up with such an original script and so major League intelligent dialogue. I highly recommend this flick!
