A Deadly Compromise

In Genoa, Anna Merisi (Eljana Nikolova Popova), the wife of the unconventional professor of the local university Paolo Merisi (Nicola Farron), decides to hire a babysitter for their son because she wants to work again to help to pay for their bills. Meanwhile, the deranged Caterina (Violante Placido), who has just left a clinic, gets the Merisi family address and lies telling that she was sent by the agency. When Paolo sees her, he recalls that Caterina was his former student and they had an affair two years ago, but his wife is very connected to Caterina and he has no chance to fire her. When Caterina jeopardizes his marriage and his family, Paolo discloses his past to Anna. But Caterina does not want to give up on Paolo.

"A Deadly Compromise" is a forgettable movie with bad acting and flawed screenplay. The performances are incredibly flat and the story full of clichés. There are some good movements of camera and nothing else. The shameful DVD released by Brazilian distributor highlights a fake inexistent IMDb comment "A thriller where you do not relax any second". My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "Compromisso Mortal" ("Deadly Compromise")
