The Affair Conspiracy

I'm giving this a 4 because I love lifetime type movies (I have no idea if this is a lifetime movie or not) and I truly have low standards for these movies. Even the worst gets a high review. I've never left a review before but I felt I needed to.

The acting was so so bad. As a Canadian, I was embarassed at how much this is like a low budget Canadian movie. I realize most of these movies were filmed in Canada by Canadian actors but those seem like masterpieces compared to this.

The story was okay. It kept me interested and watching so that's something. The end was weird and I didn't quite understand the point.

I agree with the other reviewers...the acting and writing of the script was simply horrible...I gave this one star only because it wouldn't allow me to enter no stars or negative stars.

The plot was ok, not fabulous but if the acting and the writing would have been better, it might have been a tolerable movie..

They don't link things together... two people just met, have sex i the The actors do not come across as real at all...no appropriate emotions...and they go from barely knowing each other to having sex in the park..besides the horrible acting, the writing, script was horrible...simply unrealistic..have these actors taken ANY acting lessons??? The worst movie I've ever seen.

I watched about the first 5 - 6 mins of this - up to the point where Olivia and Shane get it on in the park with no regard or guilt from the fact they are both married - and there was no backstory to merit it.

First time they meet they shook hands in the street - less than a 2 min conversation, they bumped into each other in the library - another 2 min convo - then 1 min in the park before wham bang thank you ma'am - there was no regret about it - just went to it - which was actually cut out - just diving into the bushes followed by doing their clothes back up. (No indication that they actually took anything off - or even unzipped!).

Didn't help that the guy that played Olivia's husband really didn't seem to fit the part.

Have to say though it really was the worst acting I've ever seen (they were 'acting' not 'reacting' as they would have been taught to do in any good drama school - they weren't playing off each other - just saying a line and hoping for it to land - which it missed quite a few times) - so hopefully the actors were doing it pro-bono.

I think the girl that plays Olivia's daughter wasn't too bad though - mind you, as i said I'd only watched about 6 mins of it - before being forced to change channels..

I need to be captured in the first 10 mins of a film to see it through but being forced to turn over after 6 mins because of the acting wasn't great.

Mind you, the cast are unknown in the UK (and possibly the US) - but if they had a few celebrities in it it may have landed a bit better (especially the ones that can act). - but this does seem like an incredibly low to no budget - so surprised it actually got to the screen at all.

Sometimes things should be played infront of a sample audience before the writers / directors embarrass themselves on the big screen. - Daresay it would have been more cost effective.

It's not easy getting equity (and that may have been the reason they did the film) but at least they gave it that good old college try!!

I always take Lifetime movies with a grain of salt. But this film has the worst acting I've ever seen. I'm not even criticising the plot line, not expecting anything special on Lifetime. One makeout scene was like sleazy porn, with kissing that had no passion. Don't waste your time. The "actors" vocalize in monotones and show no emotion. I don't expect stellar acting all around in Lifetime made for TV movies, but in this one, each and every star is flat. To say they are just reading their lines would be exaggerating for the better. As for the plot, it's typical pseudo thriller for Lifetime! A real waste of time.
