First of all, to the concerns of the "fake" accents, Sean Faris is actually from Texas, so the complaint that he sounded Texan is a bit silly in my estimation. Who is to say he didn't live in Texas in some earlier time not dealt with in the movie? Second, the guy has an amazing range and does some very believable roles on such diverse networks as Hallmark and Lifetime. Some absolutely great people and some not-so-nice. But all complex. I think he is very underrated and, although not difficult to look at, he is far more than eye candy. Also as to the reviewer who complained about him showing his muscles, he happens to be a fitness expert in real life. He in my opinion was not showing off to the camera but simply looks good from any angle. As to the movie itself it is one you have to watch constantly in order to follow, and that is actually part of the power of it. Much of the dialogue is done without musical background and causes one to pay more attention. The only spoiler I will say is that you are left, even at the very end, not knowing for sure exactly what parts were fantasy and which were actual memories or conversation. The writing could have been slightly better but even that not bad for the most part. I found myself invested in all 3 of the main characters and honestly sympathetic to each.

The film begins with Sammy returning home early from work to surprise his wife with gifts on their anniversary. He finds her home early and she is "getting busy" with another man. He quietly closes the door, goes and grabs his guns then comes back up stairs...The question that comes up is: Who has the right to judge? Does Sammy have the right to judge? Just because someone betrays us, are we supposed to take the law into our own hands? Or does this go deeper than that. Is it Justice Sammy wants? I appreciate the excellent acting given by the characters. Their response to the situation: the anguish, the hurt, the sadness and pain could be felt in this film. I gave this film a high rating because of topic matter and acting skills.This film contains all kinds of graphic language, violence, and nudity. Just a warning.

This film is an excellent textbook example of the bankruptcy of fundamentalist Christian morality. The plot is straightforward: a man comes home from work on his wedding anniversary and finds his wife having sex with another man. He pulls a gun on them and the rest of the movie is the conversation they have while he decides whether to kill one or both. A loving marriage is clearly defined as one in which nobody cheats.The man calls the wife of the adulterer, who runs over and denounces her husband and then has the first man has sex with her in front of her husband and the first man's wife. They are seriously tortured over this—witnessing their spouse having sex with someone else (as punishment? for their having sex with someone else?) It turns out that the husband's boss repeatedly raped the wife when she was in highschool and she let him because her father worked for him and needed the job and she loved her father. The movie gets her shot but leaves the completely unremorseful boss scott free. I guess the difference is she is a woman and he is a man; or, he is a capitalist and she is just a worker.So the definition of married love and fidelity is that penises stay out of extramarital vaginas. This is supposed to be morally inspiring and indicating the spiritual wonder of the old testament.The horror of forced sex on the highschool girl is suggested as the source of her infidelity. This isn't a psychological analysis, however; it's just cause/effect, and she blames herself for it. Also, the bizarre sex between the good husband and the betrayed wife of the adulterer is just shown as something that happens—doesn't seem to affect either the wife or the husband.None of these people pay attention to the bible, although they can quote chapter and verse. Their reactions and their decisions appear to be completely independent of scripture, although scripture is quoted. So one has the sense that this movie is directed to nominal fundamentalist Christians and gives them an excuse for various sexual activities on the grounds that they had a bad childhood, suffered abuse, etc. Further, the movie implicitly condones the cold-blooded murder of two people.

What even?? How did they make an entire movie without anyone telling them they weren't in Alabama or something? Makes the movie pretty hard to watch and totally unconvincing. Ew. Every single time Samuel spoke, I cringed. I was born and raised in southern Louisiana and no one I have ever know sounds like that haha.I would not recommend to anyone.I really can't even write ten lines about this garbage movie.. it's pretty dull and inauthentic.I hope I've written enough at this point. Watch it for fifteen minutes before you turn it off like I did. You will be let down.:)
