I understand the bad ratings. But it's not because of the acting, or the plot per se. It's because of the -18 year old having an affair with a rich young woman- seems not very plausible. But I enjoyed the movie a lot. It was actually very suspenseful and the twist at the end I definitely didn't expect it. That's what made me write this review and that's what it made the movie good. The twist. So if you're looking for a sexy thriller, on a lazy Sunday. This is the movie for you! It will keep you intrigued.

Well, after I saw the fairly graphic * scenes, I decided I would not watch it again. As we speak, I just changed the channel because it came on again. In another movie, they said the (s word). I said I would not watch that movie again, and I haven't. This is getting ridiculous. We watch these movies, and pay Spectrum or whomever, money to watch these. I expect to see a good mystery. Not any overly sexual bed scenes, and especially not nudity. I also do not want to hear the (s) word, or the (f) word. Yes, that has been on at least one movie. You know you don't have to make these movies this way. Also, you could come up with some different stories. I am sure you think you are smart enough for that? I have my doubts. All you people want to do is throw out as many movies as possible. You love putting in those sex scenes, and low class language. I am assuming because this is how you people are. I am sure that is how you talk, and act. How pathetic. Just plain classless.

After reading a lot of the other reviews on here i will stand boldly and admit i enjoyed this movie and found it entertaining as i think that was all it was trying to do and not trying to be the most original fatal attraction type dangerous liaison movie thats ever been made. Other peoples reviews seem to be comparing this movie with the 1980s and 1990s femme fatale movies that still are very popular today. But were they originals???No i don't believe they were as its all been done before as in the film Noir in the 1940s back then they especially specialised in dangerous women the likes of Barbara Stanwick and Gene Thierney etc played these very same type of women and so did Joan Crawford even earlier.So no the 1980s -2000 + movies of this genre don't have original characters or story lines. Anyway back to the film the location is beautiful and should keep you interested enough to wonder where this happy picturesque place is as it looks so chilled. I admit the film did seem to be going down the predictable path of dangerous extra marital affair ,husband gets killed mysteriously , you could see that coming a mile off but then i think you are meant to as the twist that happens in the end you don't see coming, i defie anyone who says different I liked this movie i wasn't expecting much from it as i was just flicking through Sky and kind of thought this will do and it turned out good enough viewing for me and i am picky
