An Affair to Die For

An Affair to Die For_360P

The very first scene offers an immediate insight to theourstandingly poor acting you are about to suffer through. There is literally only 1 redeeming quality here "the end". Truely one of the most dismally acted and nonsensical films in years. Appallingly bad!! OMG this filmed sucked. Got it? They ask if this review offers anything to ruin the film for the viewers?! SAVE YOUR TIME!

What is Titus Welliver, coming off Bosch, doing in this turkey? It's not only bad, it's empty, a complete waste of time, talent, setting, lighting, even the music. A woman arrives at a luxury hotel, is shown to a gorgeous suite, and while waiting for her companion, finds cutesy notes, sexy underwear, a mask and even handcuffs for an obviously well planned romantic weekend. But it soon turns ugly, and we then discover that she is one half of an illicit affair, and that her husband, who is "into surveillance" knows about it. He has kidnapped the lover, threatened his family, and for reasons never explained, insists the lover continue the weekend without letting his wife know that he's onto her. At the same time he phones his wife and tells her the lover is a serial killer. It's all so silly that the twist at the end shouldn't come as a surprise....and it really doesn't. What has happened to writing? Does no one recognize or demand quality any longer, thereby allowing a script like this to actually be produced? One that has no real suspense, no character development, and no point....unless it is "don't cheat" which as a message has been done far and away better in other films. The rating of two points is only for the hotel suite, which was nice. Skip this trash.....even if it does have Titus Welliver. What was he thinking?

The only people rating this highly are friends and family. I should've quit after the first 15 mins but I wanted to give it a chance so watched an entire hour. Ugh!! Wasted my time. It only gets worse. Complete nonsense. It is all over the place.

I saw where this movie was made in 17 days. that's about the time the actors spent walking through this amateur plot. all the leading lady contributed was her amazing cheekbones. as for the two male leads they should have phoned in their roles. this movie should serve as a model in film schools of how to avoid making a c film

Holly Pierpoint (Claire Forlani) is an instructor who has a boring and predictable marriage to her much older husband Russell (Titus Welliver). She goes to Aspen to rendezvous with Everett Alan (Jake Abel) a younger student who is also married. Shortly after arriving it becomes clear Russell knows about the event and is controlling the action to create doubt and terror. Of course, the film has its twist which didn't excite me. The film is mostly two people in one room taking directions. Although this has twice as many people in a room than say, "1408," it wasn't half as good. Guide: F-word. Sex. partial nudity.

Worst. movie. ever. I can't believe I wasted 1.5 hours of my life on this tripe! I am ashamed of my choice.

To enjoy this movie you must entertain willful suspension of disbelief. It is fiction afterall!! And, you pretty much have to do that from the momyshe arrives at the hotel...

This movie held my interest until the end. I guess I was hoping for it to redeem itself, it didn't. This movie was absolute cheeks. The main woman rubbed me the wrong way. She's cheating on her husband, who's also a retired surveillance cop? She never thought to bring this up to the guy she's having an affair with...strike one (not realistic). Her husband calls her, tells her he knows about the affair, but that she's in danger, Everett is a "dangerous man"...literally, this was so lazily written and explained, it was so trash. What made it even more trash is that she immediately believes her husband, an ex surveillance coo who knows she cheating, about her mister being a "dangerous man"...strike two. The ending was completely nonsensical, and did nothing to close out the story. The main woman, Holly, is more so the villain of the story. I don't know, congrats on getting it made, but the script for this and some of the acting? Wack. It played like a bad soap opera.

I guess I've seen worse but this movie was pretty bad. It at least could have given some resolution at the end to make up for its awfulness, but we don't even get that satisfaction. Everyone comes to a bad end; there are no good characters and you have to wonder what happens to the surviving kids -- innocent victims, every parent but one dead and no doubt the one survival of this stabbing/head-smashing/tongue and finger amputation nightmare in jail for life. That is if by the end of the film you bother to think of anybody at all, just glad the mess is over. I would think that most people when they watch a movie like this do not want it to be totally amoral but that is what it is. Virtually everyone (except the hotel staff and the cops) is bad, vengeful, ready to kill each other at the drop of a hat - so no particular sympathy garnered for anyone, making this quite pointless in a way. Don't wast your time like I did.
