François van Heerden, a mid-40s Afrikaans family man, has become devoid of any care or concern for his own measure of happiness, and so convinced of his ill-fated existence, that he is wholly unprepared when a chance encounter unravels his clean, controlled life.

Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Clevercell Very disappointing...
Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
martin-1150 I bought this film in a hurry without any investigation beforehand; I saw the good looking Christian on the cover and the 4 reviews from respected sources each giving the film 4 stars so I thought this must be good.And you could tell from the beginning that the film is good and realistic and very well acted - I just hadn't properly registered the LOVE ENVY OBSESSION on the DVD cover and was hoping for a pleasant experience. What I got was a long brooding film with a shocking scene towards the end of the film.I guess I do not understand extreme sexual domination towards someone that you supposedly like a lot.So not recommended if you like romance or encounters between two good looking young guys.
calvin1821 Shocking, alarming and scary! Anyone and I do mean anyone that likes this films. Has some hardcore issues they need to deal with! This is not a gay movie and should not be considered a movie at all. It is a director trying to make a point at a culture that obviously doesn't mind out right violence. This is the worst kind of movie for gay people. We are not rapist, we do not beat and choke someone to the point paralyzingly them. I HATE HATE, this movie so much it's absolutely eating me up inside. With out going too deep, I have been raped and oh my God, does it change you as a human. the rest of your life is a mental struggle. The lead character is a sad sad, slow moving married man. Not to mention a liar, a homophobe and a criminal, who somehow gets it in his head that its fine to almost kill his best friend's son, because he doesn't have the balls to leave his wife. If NetFlix doesn't remove this movie from its selection, I will need to cancel my membership. Please for the love of God, do not glamorize this movie, it is not artist, it is not a study on human culture....it is the worst thing for the gay male community. I repeat, ask your providers to not carry this film!!
carljoe Drawn out with too many loose ends. Too much contemplation in the lead actor part. If you can read minds, you might like the movie. Are we led to believe that the guy he attempted to rape, is at the bottom of the pool, or did he actually get what he went to the room for? If not, what the heck happened? Was all forgiven, or was the last bank withdrawal a payoff for silence? The movie just suddenly leaves you hanging, feeling you've wasted an hour and a half of your time. It's ashamed too, because it had the makings of a really good movie. The movie is about a repressed, screwed up guy with too much time and money on his hands. They could've done a much better job of telling the story. One moment you think it might be going somewhere, then all of a sudden it's all over the place, again. The script didn't allow the full potential of the actors. I can't believe it was nominated for any type of award. You'll likely be left thinking, "What the hell just happened" and not in a good way.
donwc1996 This film is without a doubt the most shocking film I have ever seen. It's difficult to say just how the writer/director came about doing this film but a couple of things come to mind. I could not help think of the way Hitchcock would prepare the viewer for a shocking scene by almost lulling the viewer to sleep so that when the big scene takes place you practically jump from your seat and go running for the nearest exit. I'm thinking of Psycho, of course. Here, a virtually identical event takes place and there was no exit for me to run to so I had to stay in my chair and sit out perhaps the most horrific scene I have ever witnessed in a movie or in real life. It is shockingly presented and you sit there frozen thinking to yourself this can't be happening. Everything that happens before the big scene and everything that happens after are completely out of context with the big scene itself and the writer/director has done this precisely the way Hitchcock did it in Psycho. There is an element of abstraction that really hits you hard and you just cannot stop thinking about what you have just seen. In fact, the more I think about this film the more I realize how torn and twisted men are when it comes to lust and the flesh and that the biggest struggle men have is overcoming their sexual desires especially when they are twisted and sick as in this fellow's case. It really is impossible for women to fully grasp just how horrific it is for men in many cases to overcome the flesh and to behave in a humane and decent way. Men are tortured there is no question about it and the man in this film is a perfect example of how wrong a man can go even though on the surface he lives a good life.
