This was one movie that kept me glued to my seat. I would recommend this as a must see to any movie buff. As a photographer, I loved the use of the lighting,how well it looked against the Atlanta skyline;that included one of the many famous red Georgia sunsets was breathtakingly beautiful. The one scene outside of the jail location shot in the parking garage was dark, mysterious and sinister. That was the turning point in the movie. There were some minor things that were not true to life. However, they did not take away from the quality of the movie.There must be a sequel to this awesome thriller. The cast of actors was an excellent choice.

This movie was absolutely superb!! The plot line was very interesting and kept you guessing the whole time. The acting was very well done, I can't believe we hadn't heard about this film before. The end was great and of course, completely a surprise. As I said before, it kept you guessing the whole time. By surprise, I found this film at my local video rental store, never heard of it and decided to give it a try. Boy, did I luck out!! I can't believe that this wasn't in theaters, and if it was, only for a short time with little or no publicity. Give this film a try, it would be well worth your rental fee! My husband did not get to see it all the way through and we plan to watch it again so he can see the whole thing! It would be well worth a look, I would strongly recommend this movie!

I thought this was a well thought out screenplay not at all the run of the mill black film. I was totally surprised at the end. The only hint was the hug scene between the wife and the lawyer friend while Emery was coming from the police station, other than that there was very little foreshadowing. There were a lot of heavy hitters in this one. Vivica did an excellent job.The love scenes were a little corny especially since sexy sexy Shemar was the lover I would have loved to see the love scenes be little more natural. I was also surprised that there was not a love scene between Shemar and Vivica. There was an abundance of mystery in this. I recommend everyone see this movie.

MOTIVES is mysterious, suspenseful, exciting and very sexy!!! No one is who or what they appear to be on the outside and the one character that is exactly what he appears to be...the very attractive, very wealthy, very confident, very self-absorbed, very greedy, main character Emery Simms played by Shemar Moore, carries you through his world of mindless acts of greed,excess and violence performed without the slightest care as to who will be affected by his actions, knowing fully well that money will always ensure his flaws never come to the light and that he will never have to face the consequences of his actions. However, his loving wife Constance, played by Vivica A. Fox, is made to smile and bare it as her efforts to help community children is hampered by the long shadow that Emery's unsavory business dealings casts. Not to mention the shame of finding out about his extra-marital exploits with the alluring Allanah, who brings a whole new dynamic to the idea of a love "triangle".But everything comes to a head when all of the areas of Emery's life start to come apart one by one as all of his skeleton's are exposed and he stands the chance of losing his wife, his fortune and his freedom.But how much of this mayhem is of his own doing? Check it out for yourself and see if you can figure out who is friend and who is foe. If you like: Wild Things (Neve Campbell & Matt Dillon), Pandora's Box ( Michael Jai White & Monica Calhoun), Disclosure (Michael Douglas & Demi Moore)then you will love this film. Just make sure that you put the kiddies to bed...this one is definitely for the grown ups.
