ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Juana 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.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
turtle-925-569054 So this is a major spoiler but given the chronological sequence of events, it all makes sense (as opposed to some who think not). Chronologically, it resembles Now You See Me more than Wild Things.Man dates rich women, possibly killing them for the money. Man killed woman with two daughters (D1 and D2), and dragging mother to be buried in front of daughters. Man marries very rich woman. Man kills rich woman in pool. Woman's Daughter (D3) does not inherit money. D1 and D2 plots for revenge (possibly for money but looks more like revenge story). The plot involves D1 getting close to D3 to sub-plot killing D3's step father, Man. D1/D3's plot involve 1. D1 marrying Man 2. getting a woman to be the fall guy for D3's crime when she kills Man. D3 thinks she is approaching vulnerable D2 and sets things in motion, not knowing that she is actually the real fall guy. The rest of the story is how the movie runs from beginning.
SicilianLegend "Breaking the girls" is a film released in 2012 directed by Jamie Babbit. This is a thriller style of the famous Sex Intentions without the match. Three actresses share the prize: Agnes Bruckner, Madeline Zima and Shawn Ashmore Sara is a strong young woman, ambitious and very beautiful. Alex, her equally pretty classmate took her under his wing. Alex and Sara constantly gossiping about people they do not like. The two women closer and more ... One day Alex suggests that each should kill the biggest rival of the other. Sara takes this as a joke until she learns the death of someone she knows well. Nevertheless, the film is very long to launch, more than a half hour to wait ... but then it will bounce bouncing like a good thriller. The ending is unexpected and that's good for viewers....
neshasouthport-1 Starting the movie, I was already kinda bored and was just looking for something interesting on Netflix. I paid attention in the beginning since there was "ICEMAN" from X Men and that chick from Blood and Chocolate BUT it lost me eventually and I ended up just fast forwarding through the whole thing. But i gotta compliment the twist ending. I was surprise by it ,so i went back to rewatch it and try understand how the pieces fit together. BUT i still don't understand what their mother had to do with it. Was that even explained?? In conclusion, the movie wasn't that great. I rated it a 5 because i didn't want to be mean but it should probably be lower.
suite92 Parties, booze, back biting bad behaviour set at a school with a law program.Sara (from the lower class) is on scholarship and works more than one job. She and Eric like one another. Brooke wants Eric to herself. Alex (from old money) is a lesbian Cassanova who wants Sara because she's straight and because she thinks Sara is vulnerable. Brooke (another privileged young woman) gets Sara fired from her job, which gets her scholarship revoked, and gets her kicked out of housing. Alex's step mom (real mom died in swimming pool) is five years older than Alex, and quite nasty to Alex (like don't visit home without calling first). The heat comes from Alex's father, though.So, Brooke and Nina are the obvious targets. Sarah despises Brooke, and Alex despises Nina. So, Sara and Alex discuss this, but not really at any length.Alex kills Brooke and frames Sara, then kills her father and frames Sara. Nice.Were there important missing pieces that Sara needs to know about? Will Sara be able to extricate herself from the murder charges? Will everything we think we know be thrown out in the last three minutes?------Scores-------Cinematography: 8/10 Mostly fine; camera a bit wobbly now and then.Sound: 8/10 OK.Acting: 2/10 The only good acting I saw in this film came from Sam Anderson and John Stockwell; both performances were short. The other performances were between sub-par and bad. The relationship between Alex and Sara was not believable. Shawn Ashmore does better with a stronger director.Screenplay: 4/10 Derivative and boring. For a bright person trained in the law, Sara navigates her situation very poorly. The exposition of motivation was not all that good, and the poor acting did not help. The turnaround in the plot at the end was a fairly nice touch in terms of plot, but was also yet another full-scale affirmation of corruption. There were so many in this film.
