Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Konterr Brilliant and touching
ShangLuda Admirable film.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
lavatch The characters in this film are so repellent that they even make the attorneys look like saints.Jerry Dennings has spent ten years moving his way up in to a VP in a large corporation. But in this film, he turns out to be the hapless looser in a scam to defraud his company of $10 million.Jerry's partner in crime is the much more savvy Rebecca Walker, who is the key player in the $10 million settlement for wrongful termination of Jerry from his job. It is clear that Rebecca has all the brains in the planning of the scheme, as apparent in the following dialogue:JERRY: How do we know they haven't sent these photos to the police?REBECCA: Because we're not in jail.With this level of banter, the film is lively, and the plot twists keep piling up. Nearly all of the characters are shady with the possible exception of Jerry's mousy wife Shannon, who just seems to keep showing up at the most awkward moments in Jerry's tumultuous life. Although he he is now unemployed and has received a $10 payout, he finds a way to keep constantly on the defense from his fellow schemers.At stake in this film is a $10 million payout for the last man or woman standing. The question is who will have the most resolve, stamina, and creativity to eliminate the cutthroat competition for the big jackpot.
veronicammartin Crimes of Passion serves twists and turns at every move and is worth watching until the end.An unfaithful husband and his mistress set up a sex harassment charge only to be tricked at every turn.Jonathan Higgins is suitably pathetic as the dithery,unfaithful husband, Dina Meyer stunning as the temptress.The location scenery in this film is beautiful and sensitively shotThe final shot is worth waiting for and should make errant husbands wonder a/ why any woman would actually fall for them and b/ why any man should even think about straying. Delicious.
guilfisher-1 This is another LMN soap opera detective story with so many twists you lose track of the concept. Interesting characters, mainly the three leads, Amy Sloan, Jonathan Higgins and Rebecca Walker. With some good supporting players in the shady lawyer and "best friend" to Jonathan. Won't go into plot, only yo say it went on too long and commercials interfered with the suspense.Amy Sloan as the "other woman" did a remarkable job and is a gorgeous knockout that you can understand why the hubby left his wife for her. The hubby, Jonathan Higgins, was at times too much of the nervous twit. I just wanted him to end it all. He gets on your nerves after a while. The wife, not so attractive Rebecca Walker, is mis cast and rather a dull and boring actress. But, even her bad performance didn't take it away from the other two. Fortunately she isn't in the picture that much.The title should be changed to Crimes of Stupidity. For there certainly was no passion in this film between the players. I give it a 5 for the writing.
ryon-2 This is a slick roller coaster ride of a crime drama. because of the many, many, plot twists it's hard to summarize this movie without giving away something so all I can say is that this movie starts with a plan for a married man along with a beautiful co-worker of his to defraud his employers out of millions of dollars and ends up with blackmail and murder. All of this is common in movies like this, but what isn't so common is that in Crimes of Passion, while you may think you have everything worked out but at the finale you never know who is going to walk away alive.I gave it seven stars out of ten only because there was maybe one or two plot twists too many; those last two being just a little too improbable to really set well. At the end all I could only say was, "Oh, good grief!" Like all roller coaster rides, this one left me dizzy at end, but it kept me watching nonetheless.
