Disappointing...

I love Shemar Moore, and Vivica Fox but absolutely hated this film. The storyline was extremely weak and the characters were so poorly constructed that I couldn't care less about what happened to any of them. The sex scenes were gratuitous and not at all necessary to the shabby plot. The bumpy route by which we were rushed to the final conclusion was badly thought out and nowhere near convincing. I expected much more from Shemar, and Vivica's acting talents were wasted. A real shame.

I really enjoyed this one

It's about this guy who has a reputation for being kinda dangerous. He cheats on his wife but that gets him into a whole muddle. Although he was in a bit of a muddle before that anyway.

Anyway he gets charged with two murders. With the second murder I'll tell you this (I won't give the game away, don't worry) - the murderer is not who you think it is. Neither is it the second person you think it might be.

Watch it.

Ummmm

The best thing about this film was Shemar Moore's six pack. This film could have been sooooo much better if they had tightened up the story....I felt they wasted alot of time on parts which weren't important rather than making it the thriller it was supposed to be.

Interesting...?!

A good movie that unfortunately seemed to take a long time to engage with...nice to see a suspense thriller and the portrayal sucessful African Americans who have suceeded without being part of organised crime!

Could have been worse

I loved the film and the story line, however, it could have been a lot tighter. It was a good movie non the less and Shemar Moore was great. Watch it.

Truly enjoyable film

This is a very good film. The twist at the end is very unexpected. Motives 2 is even better - a must see.

Worst film ive ever seen.

I read all the reviews and thought, ok only two people thought this was a bad film, so ill take a chance.

What a complete waste of my time! Friday night got the popcorn out ready to relax and watch a good movie and was brutally dissapointed from the very opening. As said before this film is weak, Weak WEAK! The story line could have been so much better and you kind of get the feeling that the actors arent really feeling the movie either. You would think that this was Shemar and Vivica's very first acting debue. And as for the sex scenes all i can say is Why, why, why? Even that was poorly acted!

I loved it!

The story line is not to bad. Some sex scenes weren't necesary at all. However good web and the final twist was unexpected. I recommend it.
