Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
rbritton I had been waiting to see this movie for two years because made it to some theaters and university auditoriums (with Tim Reid hosting). I rushed to Blockbuster to rent it because I saw it was coming out on Feb 11th. It was worth the wait! Blair Underwood, Michael Beach, and Debbi Morgan were outstanding! It was kind of like a black "Fatal Attraction!" It was so nice to see a black film portraying "well-to-do couples" and yet they were still keeping it real. Tim Reid's direction was superb in how he showed that something so innocent as four couples (who are all best friends)going to the fair can turn into a fatal and horrifying experience and create a "deadly domino" effect that can threaten and ruin relationships as well as lives. I thought the storyline was great. I also liked how Blair Underwood's character (Chance) evolved from docile to demented and how Michael Beach(Michael) explained that Chance once had a "dark-side" and once he met and married Roberta, it calmed him down. All the main characters had their crosses they had to bear. I also loved the town-setting, scenery, music and cinematography. Kudos to Tim Reid, Blair Underwood, and Daphne Maxwell-Reid for taking author Eric Lee Bowers and putting it on screen.
seehill Living in a small town and not a real movie goer. I rather depend on purchasing my dvd selections by browsing IMDb. I saw this film here and being a real fan of Tim Reid decided to order it. I really loved this film. the casting, in my opinion, was just perfect. It really kept me on the edge wondering what would happen. Would love to see many more films by Mr. Reid. I guess I'll just have to start movie going to make certain that the funding is available for more of his work. I highly recommend this film.
mbcea1 I have been waiting patiently for the movie to arrive in my area. I read the book in one day. Couldn't put it down. For all you thrill seekers out there, this one is a MUST read. Everything about this work (plot, characters, etc.) is perfect. My kind of action!
kaylahand A formula movie, this is nonetheless an edge-of-your-seat thriller. Blair Underwood's transformation from a dark yet likeable character to a horrifyingly creepy antagonist makes this film a real nail-biter. A twist on the Fatal Attraction theme, Asunder is much more satisfying with its moral dilemmas not quite solved at the end.
