TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
earpmorgan I thought all 3 actors were really good. The intensity and range of emotions of all 3 seemed so real that I had to keep reminding myself that it is just a movie. This movie really hit home as I once had a cheating & deceptive wife. A lot of things go through your mind initially. When adulterers get caught, they almost always say: "I'm so sorry, I made a mistake. What's really going on is they are not sorry for cheating on you. They are sorry that they got caught. Cheating is a " Choice" not a mistake. This is what I think this excellent movie is telling us. Walking in on something like this makes you feel like your heart, along with your trust is ripped out of you. The husband in the movie had a right to be angry. However the way he is showing his anger via violence is wrong. The best thing to do is just leave the two adulterers and file for divorce. That's what needs to be done. There is no way of trying to put the pieces back together. The relationship will always have painful scars. This movie is one that every potential adulterer should watch.
Tyson Hunsaker Not every film you see is something you've been anticipating for a long time. Sometimes you see a movie and think "hmm that looks interesting." Such was the case for Adulterers. It's safe to say most people will go into this film with that mind set and hopefully they'll remember that this film is an independent project with a lower budget.Right off the back, it's important to know this script is all over the place. Dialogue in most scenes feels so off it's difficult to listen to. It doesn't help when the acting feels so overdone that it's not being delivered. There are several occasions where some tension will build only to be torn down by the following line being terribly delivered or a reaction from the characters that feels completely unbelievable; cringe-worthy even.The premise itself is simple and a perfect set up for a thriller. Your average guy comes home on his anniversary to find his wife cheating on him and the rest of the film experience is to find out whether or not he kills them. Moving along the story, you learn certain "twists" about certain characters which keeps things interesting and new. A few of these attempt are indeed interesting. The rest feel out of place and make you ask "Wait... what?" Outrageous and disturbing behavior/content aside, you may wonder why you're sticking around to see how it ends.Here are some almost strengths. Yes, there are a few of those. As mentioned before, despite how bad the writing might be, the filmmakers do a good job and holding on to you to see how it ends. Tension does indeed build enough so that you're a part of the thrill ride. The progression and structure of the story itself is compelling. Granted, it's obvious the filmmaker was trying desperately hard to be a Scorsese/Shyamalan (early Shyamalan). However, it makes for a solid and thought-provoking ending to the film. Aside from the "strength" it's hard to recommend this film to anyone who's looking for an absolutely fantastic thriller. It won't be found here but if you're searching around Netflix and have nothing to watch. There might be worse films to use an hour and a half with.
ericaficwriter The film begins with Sammy returning home early from work to surprise his wife with gifts on their anniversary. He finds her home early and she is "getting busy" with another man. He quietly closes the door, goes and grabs his guns then comes back up stairs...The question that comes up is: Who has the right to judge? Does Sammy have the right to judge? Just because someone betrays us, are we supposed to take the law into our own hands? Or does this go deeper than that. Is it Justice Sammy wants? I appreciate the excellent acting given by the characters. Their response to the situation: the anguish, the hurt, the sadness and pain could be felt in this film. I gave this film a high rating because of topic matter and acting skills.This film contains all kinds of graphic language, violence, and nudity. Just a warning.
melaronius Sean Faris should win an award for the worst Louisiana accent ever. He sounds like a southern Texas teenage girl going with that trendy vocal fry voice. Wtf. How could anyone who has ever been to New Orleans think that was OK? I might consider watching the movie again. I'd have to mute the audio and turn on subtitles. Terrible.... Pretty much ruined my whole day. Sad because the plot seemed like it would be interesting. I'm going to drink away any memory of that horrible voice. What a waste. How many lines do I need for this? How many lines do I need for this? How many lines do I need for this? How many lines do I need for this?
