Moviecut—Marriage of Lies

source: Marriage of Lies

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!! I feel ENTIRELY robbed of the last hour and a half of my life. The acting and casting, the storyline, the writing... Everything about this movie was purely awful. It already starts badly in not giving us any opportunity to know and connect with the characters before things go left. Right away, the husband is missing. The description of the movie stated they had a perfect marriage. How do we know?!?? We don't see anything of either of their marriage before he just randomly doesn't come home one day. And so much of the acting was bland... Much of the writing felt very cookie cutter and cliché -- like a high schooler was writing what he *thinks* a detective might say... Or what he *thinks* a teenage girl or a lawyer might say. Nothing felt genuine or organic in this film. None of the charged had depth. Oh! And not to mention the main "detective" constantly having to explain and remind his partner detective THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE FILM of things I would *think* would be investigation 101 -- not jumping to conclusions (which he said about 55 times), not making assumptions, following the evidence, etc. Between them and the wife, soooo much exposition included throughout the script. So much they had to explain to one another that was really CLEARLY for us because the movie does such a poor job setting things up naturally. Horrible horrible movie. And that's saying a lot from me -- it's been a while since I've rated a movie... really anything less than a 4 (out of 10). This barely deserves a 1. Barely. Ugh. What a waste of time. Life.

Wife is arrested for murder with zero evidence. Husband isn't investigated at all. Outside leads aren't looked at at all. Just a waste of time and a black eye representation of law enforcement.

The production values in this film are almost at a high school level. Pay attention to the detectives' 'office'. It's obviously an empty room with a few card tables and a computer. There's even a lone large target on a wall to make it look 'official'. Ditto the bar which is probably a nearby motel's watering hole. There's awful stuff like this all over the movie. I swear the final scene was shot on a high school auditorium stage. It was laughable. And the plot? Ridiculous. The reactions to revelations? There are none. Here's an example, the wife of the missing person goes to the high school where he works. The principal informs her that her husband didn't show up for work and that the principal just assumed that he was too ill to come in. After the wife says that her husband was feeling fine the principal says, 'tell him we hope he's feeling better real soon.' There's nonsense like that all through this thing. Some of the acting is so bad that you'll think it's intentional. The junior DA and the school janitor are particularly awful. So, why not a '1'? Because the lead actress has stunning eyes. And that's all this bomb has going for it.

Watching this movie , I just could not figure if I was enjoying it or not. It is about a woman named Rachel Wilson , who's husband mysteriously dissappears one morning while on his way to work. Rachel facinated me ! !So monotone and expressionless , everytime she spoke I felt myself drifting into a trance . She was constanly swigging wine , and popping anti depressants, I assume the director thought it would be effective if she acted like this , to give an impression of being sedated most of the time . I just found it funny . So ,it moves along with several possible suspects ( all female ) , but Rachel emerges as the prime suspect . Not bad , until the ridiculous far fetched ending , Stay with it and form your own opinion , It was strange .......

Nice cute movie clichés all over the film. Just enjoy the movie.

5.5 / 10. The plot was interesting and not as predictable as I expected. Look.

Probably the worst movie I have seen in years. A beautiful woman with no talent is married to a school teacher and lives in a home that a teacher could never afford, accused of making her husband disappear in a plot that coould have been better written by a high school kid.

Disappointing and not believable. These type of fiction movies are supposed to have some semblance of yes it could happen in a marriage but this did not come close and the acting was poor by all characters. The Lifetime movies of the late 90's to early 2000's were better.
