Adrian Lyne Is Back, err, Sort of.

March 11, 2022 Jordan Ruimy

Briefly.

A very silly movie, but watchable in its blatant ludicrousness. You feel nothing but loathing for de Armas’ character, but she really chews up the scenery here. The problem is the high implausibility factor in the screenplay. Both main actors know they’re in a bad movie and really just go along with it. Nice house, nice Garden district, nice New Orleans atmosphere. It’s basically the same idea as “Unfaithful,” but more pervy, and much less erotic.

I’ll have more to say about this one when the embargo lifts on March 16th. The film itself will be dumped on HULU on 03.18.22. Netflix would have been absolutely perfect for this kind of movie.
