I saw the movie called Asunder and the title speaks for itself. In the world where there is so much deceit going on especially in marriages, this is evidence of how selfishness can become dangerous. Blair Underwood was magnificent in the movie as the crazy person who took things too far. When you have an affair you don't know how it will turn out but studies show it is never without someone innocent getting hurt. You also don't know how crazy and out of touch some people are and they are still are managing parts of their lives. This movie was yet another way of reminding me why I don't engage myself with people unless I really have checked them out. Blair really was out of touch with reality even after he was told by the husband and the wife to stay out of their lives. He only heard what he wanted to hear. When he killed the lady who came home with him that was really brutal. I was convinced by his character that he was a very sick man.
... View MoreAfter a professional photographer, Chance, sees his wife die in a freak ferris wheel accident, he becomes a tad morbid and overly defensive. So holding his former best friend wrongly responsible, he puts a bizarre plan of revenge into motion. Coming off as a black and reversed version of "Fatal Attraction", I really wanted to like this film and the plot summery that Comcast gave in on Starz on Demand sounded intriguing so I gave it a chance, however I'm sad to say that the film starts off with some promise, but degenerates into mediocrity as the film wears on. None of the major characters came off to me as being particularly believable, and Blair Underwood has done so MUCH better in the past and sadly he can't save this by-the-books psychological drama.My Grade: D+
... View MoreThis was one of the worst movies I've ever seen! I think it played down to the audience. When, at the beginning, Michael Beach's character makes the comment that Chance is crazy, it just went straight down hill from there. I love Blair Underwood----no question, but I think someone must have had something on him to get him to play this part. The ONLY saving grace in this movie was Debbie Morgan. We need to see more of her. She rises above the material, and she is one of my favorite actors, but even with a life preserver and the National Guard she couldn't rescue this fiasco. I rented this movie and I wanted my money back. I know lots of people put lots of effort into it, but they'd have done better studying the masters before trying to, off the top of their heads, do a Psychological Thriller. Stanley Donen, Peter Godfrey, Stanley Kubrik, Phillip Noyce, Renny Harlin, and of course Alfred Hitchcock would have been great places for the director to start his study. I looked at this movie twice to make sure I had the right impression. That's time I'll never get back.
... View MoreThis movie totally made me weary of the best friend with wife turning into insane psychopath played brilliantly by an eerie Blair Underwood!Great execution, excellent acting, excellent directing. Hope to see more films of this genre come from this studio! Surprised more people haven't voted on this film but that should change with the advent of it coming to video. Still fresh even from 1998 to 2002! Tell a friend!
