Pretty good plot to start with but I became quickly disappointed when the writer or writers went way overboard which is sometimes typical in these type of movies. They suddenly ended up portraying Christianity as some sorta cult. If the intent was to introduce an possibly convert others to their beliefs I think they may have only succeeded in losing a few.
Even by LMN standards this movie was a complete disaster! Every aspect of it was amateurish especially the script. There were so many plot holes, one has to imagine that a lot of film was left on the editing room floor. As far as the plot, it's your typical storyline of a wife who suspects her husband of cheating so she cheats herself. The only problem though is the script is written so badly that nothing in the entire movie makes any sense. The acting was some of the worst I've ever seen. Everyone involved in making this movie must have been embarrassed with the finished product. It's had to believe that after viewing this that LMN allowed it to be air rather that tossing it in the trash can.
Seems like the script was something an amateur would write. The characters where poorly developed. There were too many unexplained scenes. One scene was needlessly repeated. The choice of the actor who played Trent was an obvious mistake from the very beginning. There was absolutely no chemistry between Trent and Julie. Because of the poor choice in casting and lack of chemistry, his character was immediately unlikeable. The premise of the story was indeed interesting however poorly executed. Too bad. It could have been much better as a thriller if more effort had been put into the script, choice of cast, direction and editing. For that reason, I can't bring myself to rate it anything more than 3. I would have been tempted to rate it lower if not for the actress who played Julie; who in fact did a pretty good job considering that her character wasn't likable either and what she had to work with.
I am usually a fan of these types of movies but this one was not very entertaining to watch. It was almost as if they made it up as they filmed. Not much made sense and was really a stretch almost to the point of unbelievability. For instance, he loves his girlfriend and wants to marry her. He is about to propose with an engagement ring in his hand and says nothing when she says she's going to Chicago even though she says she still wants to stay together. Seven years later she doesn't seem to care much for the city, her job, or her new boyfriend and doesn't make any changes on her own? Her best friend is dating her old boyfriend and is now engaged to him but not many back home seem to know even though it's a small town? Not even her parents? How it ended was really a stretch too. I could go on but it would be a waste of time and I already wasted enough of it watching this movie. Too bad because it was a pretty good premise but ruined by whoever wrote this script. I wish it had been better. Hopefully, sometime down the road, they'll use the same basic idea for a movie and hire better writers.
