Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

guilfisher-1 This 2003 made for TV movie was shown on a women's channel, naturally. As a man, why do I even attempt to watch this? I don't know, but I should have my head examined. And director and writer Simon Gornick should be ashamed of himself to give men an injustice as he does. He takes away any strength and conviction a man could have by having several boring women do him in. Number one bore is Joyce Hyser as the wife. I couldn't wait for him to drop her. Her revenge was silly and stupid and very confusing through most of the movie. The other femme fatale was Nichole Hiltz, about the coldest person you'd ever want to meet. Her looks didn't warrant our leading man to go that ape over her and her acting was so obvious, only a fool could miss. Definitely a loser. Tembi Locke was pretty good, but slow on the uptake as to the slut seducing her own husband, again played as a guy who is a loser, by David DeLuise. Rounding out our cast of losers is Anthony Denison as a boss who has little to do but scowl at our hero. Stephen Jenkins as our hero, or should I say victim, was not that good. At first I thought he just a bad actor, but later I believed it. He never got the part off the ground and was repetitive throughout. Although, as a man, I became enraged when the two women got away with it. Men, beware of this channel that puts men down and women get away even with murder. LMN is the channel. Beware. Note: Having watched this a second time by mistake, I am convinced on my initial thoughts. Especially on the writer/director, Simon Gornick. I still believe he has disgraced the male species and should be horse whipped. Only saving grace in this film is Tembi Locke who doesn't have a chance to show her talents with the awful acting of Jenkins, Hyser, Hiltz and DeLuise around her. Plus the stupid plot that only makes it worse. Down with Gornick's movie and his vacant stars in it. Please LMN don't show this trite again.

zsenorsock There is only one reason to watch this movie if you are not related to one of the stars or a producer: actress Nichole Hiltz. She is the show in this slow moving and wildly unlikely story of revenge. Directed by Simon Gornick, the film stars Joyce Hyser as a betrayed wife who decides to seek revenge on her cheatin' spouse. Oh, but not by conventional means. She plans a total guerrilla war and recruits bad girl Nichole Hiltz as her weapon of choice. She wants Nichole (as Tuesday) to get close to her ex (the handsome but dull Stephan Jenkins, who should stick to music) to embarrass him and ruin his life. David DeLuise is good in his few brief moments, and former "Crime Story" star Anthony Dennison is given virtually nothing to do but scowl. Hiltz on the other hand comes off at various times as sexy and playful, then evil and devious. She also handles vulnerable and "maybe a bit psychotic" well. She's also quite hot (though there's no naughty bits show) so you can understand how she might be able to get to any guy she is aimed at. But the performance is kind of wasted in this movie, which is just not edgy or interesting enough to recommend.

triple8 SPOILERS:I put this movie on, not expecting much and had no idea what I was getting into. Man what a twisted movie! Art of Revenge is a really strange movie, an indie film, which I had the feeling it was within the first five minutes and then after looking it up on line, found that it was so. The movie isn't a thriller-no Violence, or horror etc etc. What it is is The Grifters meets She devil meets about half a dozen other movies. But somehow the movie retains some originality. It's more then just a standard revenge tale, It has that nourish component and more "twists" then a roller coaster. It's a pretty twisted movie but completely absorbing.The movie walks a thin line between tawdry and really really sleazy and though there are a few times when it gets into a bit of the latter, this remains for the most part, an interesting movie. There's a diabolical quality to "Tuesday" the mysterious grifter hired to do the seducing and conquering. The movie and dialog are quiet, and stealthy and there's a lot bubbling beneath the surface with all these characters. one never really knows what's gonna happen from moment to moment. It is a strange and dark movie that always stays interesting.The "twists" in this are many and the movie manages to surprise not just once but several times which is a major plus. The ending is a bit murky and though much of it is similar to other movies, it still retained a bit of cleverness. If I had one problem with this, it is the fact that there are a few things that make little-actually-no sense whatsoever. The final confrontation between Izzy, Juliette and Matt is a surprise but one wonders how it could be known exactly what Izzy would do. I would have liked an ending that was a bit more realistic and cohesive. It was to muddled.In spite of that, I'd give this a 7, probably more if not for the last twenty minutes or so. It had some really interesting components though in terms of revenge movies this makes others, such as She devil, look like snow white or something, it has no comedic elements at all. If one's in the mood for twisted, you've found it here in this strange quiet tale of revenge and duplicity. Nowhere near a 10 but certainly grabs your attention and keeps it. I'd give it a 7 of 10.

route3eb The movie was insane! Great story line, a very dangerous movie for bitter women to see.... be ware men! It was a good movie, but the actiing wasn't all that great. Stephan Jenkins, (lead singer/songwriter for the band Third Eye Blind) is not the best actor, but he admits it, and he actually he did a better job acting as the movie progressed. He did a good job for his first time acting. And come on ladies... you have to see this movie because of the fact Stephan Jenkins is a babe! Woa! So overall it was a good movie, kept your attention, it's an independent film and I enjoyed it! I recommend it to the viewing audience.
