Great Suspense

Rating: 7/10 (10 February 2007)

At first I was bored with this film. It reminded me of the talented mister ripley. Chris is an ex tennis pro who gets a job as an instructor at an upper class country club. There he befriends Tom who introduces him to his sister Chloe as well as his fiancée Nola. Chris and Chloe begin a relationship, all the while Chris has his eyes on Nola. Chris finally gets Nola to sleep with him and then she disappears after her and Tom split up. Chris goes on with his life, entering high society by marrying Chloe and working for his father in law. Nola reappears and Chris begins an affair with her promising that he will leave his wife. This goes on for a while and then the movie made a fantastic turn which is the reason I gave it seven out of ten stars. For the last hour or so of the film I was on the edge of my seat, biting my nails having absolutely no idea what to expect next. I would not say it is the most original movie I have ever seen but it is certainly very entertaining and suspenseful. Before I got married I found myself in similar situations wherein I was involved with two women trying to keep one from the other. These always end bad and it always blows up in your face which is one of the reasons why its better to leave someone then to have an affair. For Chris on the other hand, things work out a little differently. For what it's worth I liked this movie.
