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.

"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....

Sara is a student and works as a bartender. One night she meets Alex a nice girl and she is too drunk to be able to go home alone so Sara offers to drive her. Arrived at home between the two a romance is born and then intervenes Eric, a schoolmate that Sara likes him. The three have fun at Alex's house in one evening then invites Eric to leave because they feel better without his company. They try to know each other better and thereby finds that both are orphans. Alex has a stepparent and take them by surprise one evening when the two are found kissing on the trampoline. Alex has a much better situation then Sarah, she has her own car and a fancy house that has remained as legacy, a half is her and can be visited on weekends. Sara loses her job after being accused by a colleague Brooke and because of her loses and the place where she lives. Alex tells her that she is unsatisfied by Nina the wife of her stepfather and would be better if he would disappear from the landscape and reminds her that she is in a similar situation with Brooke and if the two would die, their problems would solve. Sara of course do not believe she meant seriously but it turns out that she wasn't joking and she kills Brooke but put the murder in Sara's hands. Now she is the one who has to do the same to keep her part of the agreement and for retaliation. But this will not be so easy and will go through a lot to be able to make excuses for the police and make them believe that she is not the murderer.It is a very fast film with a lot of lesbianism frequent sequences the shift from relationships between girl-girl and boy-girl, of course it has flaws when the police comes to Alex's home to ask Sara about what she did the night when the murder took place, before she leave, tells her if she has a clue that might help her in the investigation, to give her a call but the policewoman doesn't let a card or a phone number and Sara could not have known her number. Then you do not go with a girl you just met that night and you do not get in her car, find other options such as to call her a cab.Not the best movie but it reminded me somehow of Wild Things and Cruel Intentions.

This psychological thriller follows two college girls who makes a pact to kill each others enemies. The summary of the Breaking The Girl doesn't imply all the twists and turns. It's a sexy, smart and interesting movie that keeps the audience captivated. Alex (Madeline Zima) is a rich collage chick with some, obvious, dubious character flaws. Sara (Agnes Bruckner) is the scholarship student from the other side of the track. There is some steaming hot scenes between the two and some plotting of murder. Does it sound familiar? It's, on paper, a rip-off of the Wild Things movie(s). Although the similarities between them I must say that I enjoyed Breaking The Girls more. It's not only because I'm a huge fan of Zima or the director Jamie Babbitt. It's because the story is actually rather good. Where Wild Things is full of archetypes Breaking The Girls play around and, eventually, trick the viewer into believing they have the story figured out. For those who are familiar with the thriller genre in general this movie might be a bit predictable at places. However, it's a nice and captivating film with great acting, directing, soundtrack and vision.
