Lifestyles of the rich and fucked up.
A blinding hot bulb of psychodrama that is fifty shades darker and 9 1/2 Weeks wilder than most of what passes for pulp erotica. Jaaon Clarke and Paz Vega are ridiculously committed to the crazy and you'd be ill advised to get hooked up with either of their onscreen characters. I went into this date totally blind and glad I didn't know that it was Jada Pinkett Smith who was pulling my chain. I might not have given her a chance, but am thankful for the one night stand. I guess it's all out in the open now. Great cinematography, too. I might have to track down the audio commentary which features Smith and her talented DP, Darren Genet for some further insight into this hidden gem. Currently free on Crackle.

This movie is from the Smith family. Jada Pinkett Smith wrote and directed it....while Will Smith produced it. Movie stars Jason Clarke as a successful corporate type harboring a deep, dark secret befriends a free-spirited stranger who encourages him to ditch his stuffy lifestyle and live life in reckless abandon. Clarke's character is so unlikeable that by the time you know his secret....you will not care. Final thought: My 2015 movies watched I have been pretty weak so far....and this movie joins that group.

Losing my mind that in all the talk about whether or not Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith were in an open relationship it wasn’t a talking point that ten years prior the couple wrote directed and produced a movie about letting go of preconceived notions and accepting that open relationships can be healthy and good.
As fun as it is to giggle about the revelation that this has always been here this movie is pretty bad. Jason Clarke is so dreadfully unpleasant that there’s no real reason to care what happens to him or figure out his baffling backstory beyond the novelty of adding one more to the long list of movies where Jason Clarke getting cucked is a…

Interesting character study of a man with a complicated past who dives into a relationship with a married woman who has an open marriage. Well acted by Jason Clarke and Paz Vega, who is super sexy in this role and is worth watching for her alone. Not a bad movie.

All I wanted was a shitty, sexy erotic thriller that was dumb enough to make me laugh and scream at the television. I was not expecting to have real ass tears in my eyes by the end. This is a drama about the pitfalls of being a human. How some of us try to control every facet of our lives because the foundations of our childhoods were weak and treacherous. It’s so easy to scream “go to therapy” at people these days. Hell, I was already crafting a witty joke about how quickly this movie would have ended if Julian just went to therapy.
But Jada Pinkett Smith’s script is more nuanced than that. She sees deeper into the human…

Idris Elba. That’s it. That’s the movie.
Okay, okay, aside from the songs credited to Pinkett-Smith’s production company, 100% Womon, the soundtrack’s okay. It sounds like something that maybe would be released in the Late Night Tales series. Tessa Thompson appears in this, briefly. And the camerawork’s okay.
But other than that, you’re telling me there are other actors in this movie, and maybe there’s a plot centered around boring sex with a complete disregard of consent issues, leading up to a physically and emotionally abusive relationship, and mommy issues used to take the blame for the lead’s abusive behavior. I WONT HEAR OF THIS AT ALL

Hoo boy. This is way weirder and more interesting than it looks, in large part because it looks so boring and turns out to be such a nuts, crazy overreaching kitchen-sink melodrama in the worst Lee Daniels tradition. Oy.
