ed_two_o_nine I came across this movie on late night TV with no previous knowledge of the movie not knowing any of the cast and was pleasantly surprised. Do not get me wrong this in not a great movie but it is certainly a lot better than the usual late night moves we find on terrestrial TV her in the UK. As I learnt from the opening credits that this was adapted from a play by the co-lead Chazz Palminteri and it really shows with the vast majority of the movie being set in the one location the house of the female lead Margaret (played by Cher whom normally really grates me by in this is not to bad, though she has had so much plastic surgery she does look like an extra from 'The Dark Crystal). The premise is of Tony a hit-man being sent by Margaret's husband to kill her, but this turns into a wiseguy farce with lots or role reversals especially with the re-appearance of the husband Jack (a slimy Ryon O'Neil). The direction really is point the camera and the set and shoot adding to the theatre feeling but considering there are pretty much only three characters on screen most of the time we get some decent chemistry between them and a not totally predictable outcomes. I would not go out of my way to see this again but would not avoid it on a bored afternoon trapped in some hotel or another.

mrsastor I have to admit, I enjoyed this movie tremendously when I watched it alone, and later when a group of friends watched it in my house I was embarrassed by how much they hated it. You have to be in the mood for it.Cher must be commended, to carry off a movie when you spend exactly half of your screen time tied to a chair is pretty remarkable. The interplay between Tony and Margaret is much better when it is just the two of them, Ryan O'Neal doesn't bring much of anything to his part and the film declines somewhat when he enters the home.The only real annoyance is the HORRIFIC injections of Mazurski as some kind of freak shrink that is supposed to be funny; it may well be the single unfunniest and most unnecessary character in the history of film. You could totally fast forward through every second Masurski is on the screen and it would only improve the film.I think women will like this a lot better than men, but it's a good film and very underrated. For most of 1996 it was my favorite film.

annlimbo I loved the movie 'FAITHFUL' with Cher. I thought it was one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Cher was fabulous in this movie. I have seen all of her movies and this was by far the best one ever. Cher has been my favorite actress and singer since I first saw her on 'THE SONNY AND CHER SHOW'. I think she a very good mother and she'll be ever so great with grandchildren. One of my favorite songs is 'CHASTITY SUN'. I watch 'FAITHFUL' more than any other movie that I have. The people that I let watch really like this movie. Some have asked to watch it again. I just stumbled on to this movie at a flea market. I am glad I bought it. The puns in this movie are the greatest.

dtrent-2 Love Chazz, love Cher, tolerate O'Neal but this movie takes too many of my emotions & smacks 'em together. I don't like someone looking menacing waving a gun in someone's face & then making small-talk with her - SINCERE small-talk. Is this a comedy? Is it a serious movie? PLEASE PICK ONE!! Sometimes it seems too real. Sometimes it's light-hearted & funny. Sometimes the dialogue (& Cher sitting on that chair in her white sox & that stupid pink robe w/her legs wrapped around Palminteri) is too dirty & ruins what coulda been sweet. I also don't like the dangerous idea of 'loving' a man who comes into your home to murder you. That word "rape" needs to be replaced, too. I watch it sometimes for the Chazz factor. But this shoulda been re-written. Perhaps with Chazz's character somehow meeting up w/Cher, taking an interest in her but never letting on that he's supposed to kill her. They fall in love & O'Neal gets put away. (Murdered or literally arrested - either one.)Oh well - That's my take on being FAITHFUL.
