Lavish

Rating: 7/10 (25 June 2012)

Synopsis: Feisty redhead Lizzie Tudor relishes her executive position, but her love life leaves something to be desired, and she also has to watch out for backstabbing colleagues and competitors. She falls for sea captain Wally Raleigh, but he betrays her with her best friend. So she plots her revenge, only to find she needs his help to see off a challenge from her Spanish competitors.
This story of intrigue and suspense at the highest level is densely plotted and well acted by an excellent cast and Clive Owen. Production value is high and the film looks terrific - gorgeous locations, sets and costumes, and good special effects.
Allegedly based on a true story, I'm not sure how accurate it is, though.
