This is a great movie. I truly enjoyed watching. It has me on the edge of my seat all the way until the end. I didn't expect it to end how it ended. However, I recommend watching this movie. Moreover, though the budget might not have been affluent, they did an awesome job with what they had. The actors also did an awesome job at owning their parts. This was like a very good soap opera. I really wasn't expecting it to end. I could have watched this again. I wonder why the movie didn't really make it to the big screen. It seemed good enough to be in a AMC theater or something as such. I wish I could find this movie still till this day.
I actually enjoyed this movie as did the 25-30 people who were sitting in audience with me in a Los Angeles suburb. This was a thriller full of deceit and manipulation. The production was lacking due to budget constraints, but the story was good even though the main character had issues.
The characters in the movie were urban professionals played by former TV sitcom stars and a couple of actors from Tyler Perry's stable of actors. They were all good but the movie needed an A lister to sell it at the box office. I am thinking if a younger Samuel Jackson or Will Smith had played the lead character David Washington, this would have been a mini blockbuster. (Cordell Moore plays Mr. Washington very well)
It would have been against type for Will who lately has been transitioning from an urban hero to a more dramatic actor. Denzel won his Oscar for playing the ultimate bad cop. Will could have gotten at least a nomination playing the lead in this one.
It is worth the money so I say grab it in theaters if you can, and if you can't, at least get it when it makes it move to DVD where these types of movies usually start off at anyway.

From the premise of the film witched I picked up in the first five or so minutes of watching, I was expecting more of a sappy melodrama with some serious over the top acting, which I did get plenty of, but I actually though the story was complex enough to hold my interest.
I thought the main character, David was an awesome villain. From the moment he hits the screen you can tell this guy is selfish and petty and only cares for himself. He's not an ass hole who treats women like dirt, he's a possessive man who wants to own the woman he is with. The highlight of the movie was seeing how far this guy would go to own his woman and the means he goes through when he cuts a woman out of his life. We get to see his entire development when he's in a relationship, which was fun to watch.
Tempestt Bledsoe was not a highlight, however. I felt that her over acting was too over the top from everybody else's over acting. It was really bad to watch.
Overall this was a great soap opera to watch unveil. If you watch Bounce TV late at night like I do, I say don't turn the channel when it's on and take a look.

I've seen bad movies before but this takes the cake! This movie is awful! Are the directors, writers, producers first-timers? Poor script, poor acting, poor directing; this is unreal! Nothing is believable. What many buys a woman he barely knows diamonds? I've seen many of these actors in other shows and this movie does them and injustice. I wonder if their acting careers became stagnant after this movie? Was this movie not read many times before the actors were selected? Were the scenes not viewed many times before this movie was edited? What was the budget of this movie; a few hundred thousand? Who did the make-up; yuck! Horrible, horrifying, terrible, this is beyond an epic fail!
Wow. First I had to double check that I was on the correct page for the movie that I just watched with my man last night. The other four reviews I have read are all positive and are flooded with undeserving compliments. We went into this movie without high expectations but at least expecting a good, solid effort. There were about 20 other people in the theater with us and we were all on the same page. This movie was atrocious. The dialogue was very poorly written, the filming was worse than a bad Lifetime movie, the actors and actresses were NOT on point. When the audience should have been getting worked up with emotion, they were all laughing instead... at the pure ridiculousness of this horrible excuse for a film. I heard one couple say this as we were leaving the theater, "I bet if Tyler Perry watched this, he was laughing his @ss off". I completely agree.
Do not waste your money to see this at the theater. Go see Red instead.
