Cheat

A fantastic movie by Matchbox Pictures out of London, ON, Canada! I was pleasantly surprised by this film! It had great actors, it had a great plot, and it keeps viewers in suspense! It was artistically captured by the director and crew! The sets were all well scouted. The lighting and sound were all on point! It had me cringing at certain points where there was violence, and I generally enjoy watching violence on film too haha! The storyline was great, as it can throw you for a loop! This movie does not come across as a small indie film, from a smaller Canadian city!! Definitely worth checking out! Well done Matchbox Pictures!

The first glaring plot hole would have been the same old tired excuse for cheating on her husband. Now if she had of kept to the abusive husband as a reason to move on, I would have bought that one. But he was all up into his job as a DEA agent, was weaker than two percent milk.

The second plot hole would have been the side piece seemed like a step down and not up, so I didn't buy that either, also I would have been inclined to agree with the abusive husband when it comes to the side piece also using her for sex, because he had little to offer.

Now the whole ruse with the kidnapping and torture, I saw through that and why would he "the husband" keep the side piece cellphone??? He's a cop, so why keep incriminating evidence is a major plot hole.

So I will give this a very generous three out of ten for the effort, but what happened to the black and white that was ordered to watch the suspects house?? Oh and yes it was predictable.

This started off slow paces and I didn't know where it was going. But just go with it you won't be disappointed it gets better and it builds. The main characters really had to grow on me, however the supporting cast does play important roles as well. Zoe and Adam had great chemistry but I didn't get that with her and Chris and you will see why as the story goes along. He is such a narcissist. I'm in no way condoning cheating but I can see how people fall into similar situations like this and feel like they have no one to lean on. The diabolical nature her spouse chooses to get back at her is totally unhinged and psychotic.

I decided to buy this on Google TV in order to better support the Canadian film industry, and I was pleasantly suprised by the story quality! This movie definitely had me second guessing at times and kept me on the edge of my seat with its twists and turns. I felt the production and raid scenes were very well formed out along with certain minor aspects which I've seen bigger films take with. I liken the sensation I got from this film similar to watching When a Stranger Calls and I Know What You Did Last Summer. If you want a new wave psychological guessing game with twists and turns, then check this movie out.

This movie definitely stands out as a pleasant surprise in the thriller genre. I'm glad it wasn't predictable and left you wondering along the way. Great to see a well done Canadian film! The violent scenes were well conducted and it was fun to spot some filming locations that are recognizable. Happy that we gave this a watch and stuck with it! The cast did very well in their roles and the stunts were well coordinated. Overall, Cheat is a gripping thriller with a compelling storyline that keeps viewers engaged. This is a must watch for any fans of the genre who appreciate smaller production films.
