Diane
(Robin Givens) and Dontae McNeil (Sean Blakemore) have been married for
the past 6 years. Though Dontae loves Diane and wants to be the kind of
husband that she is dreaming of, Diane has never really been happy in
her marriage. For six years, Dontae has been unaware of his wife’s inner
most thoughts, and on the day Diane’s true feelings are revealed, Dontae
explodes. Diane turns to her long time friend Russell Jenkins (Reggie
Gaskins) for help and support. Russ is a famous defense attorney now and
has the American family dream—a great career, a beautiful home and a
lovely wife. Diane wants what Russ has-- and she is not shy about
letting Russ know it! Diane and Russ’ closeness causes Dontae to suspect
that there is something more to their relationship, and when a man
thinks that another man is sleeping with his wife...there’s no telling
what he may do.
This movie is the sleeper
video of the year. It is one of the few movies I have recently
seen that kept me second guessing throughout the movie. Suspense
is missing from many of today's movies, but this one does not fail in
that regard.
The cast is wonderful, lead
by Robin Givens, however, Sean Blakemore nad Reggie Gaskins steal the
show as far as their performances are concerned. The production
quality is not that of a billion dollar Star Wars budget, but it works
for the movie where the story and the emotions of the actors are what
draws you in and keeps you there throughout the emotional rollercoaster
that this feature provides.
If you want to see a movie
like all the others out there, do not buy this movie. If you like
hard hitting movies that hit you right in your emotional Achilles
tendon, then this is the movie for you.
