Reviews
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
authorb22 I recently watched this on MyLifetime.com (thank you, Lifetime!) and it was great! Alexandra Paul, William Moses, and Gabrielle Carteris shined in their roles in this movie.The basic plot of the movie is that Dr. Liz Manners (Paul) is a radio psychologist for a radio station that gives relationship advice. When she advises frequent caller Sara Jane (Sophie Gerdon) to leave her abusive, obsessive husband, Kyle Lundstrom (Moses), she tries to escape from him and is hit and killed by a car in the process. It is then that Kyle works his way into Liz's life and plots revenge against her, blaming her for destroying his marriage.The acting was fantastic and the story was extremely compelling. While there were a few plot holes, (the most obvious for me is how Kyle found Liz to begin with) the movie was very enjoyable and I recommend you watch it on Lifetime's website or buy it on DVD if you can.Also, this isn't a complaint or compliment; just something I noticed. At one point, Gabrielle Carteris' character looks up Kyle Lundstrom in the police database and says "I knew it" when she finds him. At first, I thought that meant she was Sara Jane's sister (the one she mentioned during some of her calls to Dr. Manners). But that isn't the case. Just wanted to share that.
Claudio Carvalho In Philadelphia, the psychologist Dr. Liz Manners (Alexandra Paul) is the host of the WLOR Talk Radio Show giving advices about relationships to her audience. When she suggests to her listener Sara Jane (Sophie Gendron) to leave her abusive and obsessive husband Kyle Lundstrom (William R. Moses), Sara runs away home chased by Kyle and is hit by a car, immediately dying. The psychopath Kyle decides to use his money to destroy Dr. Manners' life, and assuming the fake identity of the investor James, he meets her husband Rob (Gary Hudson) and poisons her marriage."A Lover's Revenge" is a predictable B-movie with a thriller that seems to be a soap-opera in some moments. The screenplay is flawed in many aspects; for example, Kyle Lundstrom called Dr. Liz many times in her cell phone; therefore, the police could trace his calls and easily reach his identity. Further, they never constructed an identikit picture of James to help the investigation. Last but not the least; the viewer knows the identity of the criminal since the very beginning of the story, breaking the tension. The edition uses too many cuts like in a soap-opera, but the gorgeous Alexandra Paul, William R. Moses and Peter Michael Dillon have great performances. In the end, "A Lover's Revenge" is an enjoyable entertainment. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Amor e Traição" ("Love and Betrayal")
guilfisher-1 Sorry, I'm with those who do not like this film. First off it has two of my least favorite actors in it. An actress with a face like a horse, Sonya Salamaa, who was as awful in that soap about the next door neighbor out to get the couple who rented their guest house to her. I didn't like her then and was happy to see her mug get slapped around by William Moses in this one. Secondly that lip suction actress, Sophie Gendron. Like Angelina Jolie it looks as though she has her lips blown up. Not at all attractive and making them look like they have buck teeth. Fortunately she's not in the film that much. In fact both of them have more or less cameos. That leaves Alexandra Paul and Gary Hudson who along with Moses are good to look at. Unfortunately they don't have much to work with in this script. Too bad.
KenMalansky Billy Moses, Alexandra Paul, Gary Hudson, and the rest of the cast do a wonderful job in this *on the edge of your seat* psycho thriller made for LIFETIME channel. Billy does a wonderful job playing the psycho out to do in the radio psychologist,(Alexandra Paul), for the accidental death of his wife. His character has no boundaries to what he's willing to do to get even with her. All of the actors in this movie really put a lot of emotion into their characters and although the end was sort of predictable,(the evil one always dies in the end), the storyline kept you wondering in between the beginning and the end. I was completely captivated the entire time the movie was on and I definitely recommend watching this incredible movie!
