Review: Nothing to write home about...

Well this one started off good that's for sure. I loved the scene in the dance club - Ryan's line "You played yourself" had me cracking up. But then...the plot unraveled. There was artificial tension throughout. The stakes weren't high enough. And Ryan hitting the black guy didn't sit well with me at all. Jerome was just so over the top, and his villainous behavior didn't feel organic. He existed as a character to add conflict, and it didn't work. The plot needed help, that's all. And the heroine freaking out about Ryan's high school girlfriend 6 years later or whatever? Not buying it. Give me some real conflict and stakes, and I'm down!
