What it's about:

A sexy and provocative thriller about desire and the dangers of indiscretion. Successful businesswoman Zoe Reynard appears to have attained it all—the dream husband she loves, two wonderful children, and a flourishing career. As perfect as everything appears from the outside, Zoe is still drawn to temptations she cannot escape or resist. As she pursues a secretive life, Zoe finds herself risking it all as she heads down a perilous path she may not survive.

What we thought:

I do not think I can start talking about this film without first mentioning just how hot the men are! It’s a great feast for the eye definitely, and believe me you will not be disappointed. Boris Kodjoe, Tyson Beckford, William Levy can get it!

The story line of the film is one that has the potential to capture the audience from start to finish, but  this movie failed to do that. The married woman, who has an affair with a hot guy story has been told and retold time and time again and I feel like the actors in this film failed to breathe new life into it and make it their own.

The main issue I had with the film is that throughout it I was fully aware that I was watching a movie, the cast was just acting. The leading man and leading lady had no chemistry. The story felt forced and fake too fake at times, to a point where it became absolutely uncomfortable to watch.

Some parts of the film were amazing I will not lie, especially the last 10 minutes, that’s when my attention was captured but by then it was already too late. The unexpected twist does offer a bit of redemption,

The film is sexy and if you try to ignore the bad acting you might actually enjoy it.

The only thing you will get from this film is eye candy and the fear of having an extra marital affair. Other than that you are bound to feel uncomfortable and annoyed.
