A must see movie for everyone, not just women. A horrifying look at what a "man" will do in order to feel in control. I say B+
"It's 12:06, I had a reservation for 12:45, you just blew it." David Alan Washington (Moore) is a very controlling man, everything must be on time and to his liking. When he comes home to find his fiancé Robin (Atkins) with another man he calls off the wedding. Then begins to date Tina, and becomes much, much worse. Some movies you watch have such an emotional impact on you that it effects your judgment of the film. This is one of them. The acting from the main cast is good (the supporting is if'y at best) but the Washington character distracts you from the flaws of the movie and you focus all your attention on how much you hate him and want horrible things to happen to him. The steps he takes in order to control the women in his life are very dangerous, and the fact that some people are actually like this is terrifying. It's hard to fully judge how good the movie was because of the hatred you feel toward the main character. It has such a polarizing affect that you can't stop watching because you want to see him get what he deserves. Overall a much better movie then I expected and I think everyone should watch this in order to see the way this "man" acts. You will like the movie but hate David. I give it a B+.
Would I watch again? - I would if someone who hasn't seen it wants to watch it.

Jesus H. Christ this movie is bad
I thought Tyler Perry was a horrid film maker. This movie truly reaches new lows. How could sigh a shitty movie attract so many talented actors?
The actor portraying David Washington does so in such an over the top manner that it is hard to take on a serious tone. You end up laughing when you should feel sympathy for his victims or anger towards his abusive behavior.
WHO THE HELL DRESSED NEPHEW TOMMY!?! He looked like a Damn cool in all of those ugly-ass suits. I hope he wasn't advertising a new fashion Pobre or something.

Better than expected
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.

What the F
This movie was almost a total waste of time if you had nothing better to do or just believe in supporting indie films it's okay.If you are expecting anything that holds the attention or even decent acting forget. To be fair the actors can't be blamed the writing was terrible which I can't understand when the premise of the movie had such potential.It seem to be a soap opera and not a very good one at that there was no character development nor any type of build up to important scenes. The dialog was unbelievable as well as strained to the point where nothing seemed realistic I would suggest that you see anything besides this movie unless you just want to be able to tell your friends that you saw a train wreck.
Loved the script
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.
