burthelukyman Sure, the story has more plot holes in it than the one hole that starts the whole downward spiral for the characters, BUT this is clearly B-Movie territory here and as such, it's quite good. The director and/or writer are obvious fans of the 1945 Classic Noir B-Movie called DETOUR (Check it out on Youtube, folks !). Same loser type guy who keeps making the wrong decisions and ends up in hopeless situation with a manipulative, crazy-ass femme fatale. Ending is different, though, since in 1945 you couldn't show the Law being defeated, while here ... (Lemme just say that, as happens often in real life, justice doesn't prevail, which is actually a nice twist !)PLUS film has an unforgettable scene where one of the main characters that we have grown quite attached to is suddenly and shockingly killed !! Tarantino would have been proud ! (As shocking as Janet Leigh being killed in the shower after 40 minutes in PSYCHO). For that scene alone, the film is a must see !

kent901 This movie like a great many movies had some holes in it. Like why was a new young cop driving around without a partner? Did she not have to make an arrest report even though the arrest was short-lived? The events seemed realistic for the most part, however. except maybe for the man choosing to escape out of the motel window with this obviously psycho girl-cop. And also that no one in the police department picked up on the fact that this girl-cop had some psychological issues. The end was not satisfying, although, perhaps, quite possible. What this movie cries out for is a sequel. One in which the wife realizes that the actions that were described of her husband were too far afield. She wants to be sure she knows the truth and therefore she hires a private investigator. Someone not unlike Patrick Jane from "The Mentalist".

Tony Heck "We're gonna drive some more, we're gonna find a hotel and I'm gonna do some thinking. There's a way out of this situation that doesn't involve me losing my job and you losing your wife." New to the force officer Kate Logan (Bledel) stops someone she thinks matches the description of a killer. After realizing her mistake she offers to buy him a drink. The two soon begin an affair that leads to secrets and problems that make them regret meeting each other. I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this movie. It didn't really seem like a movie I would like, mostly because it seemed like it would be a "Lifetime" movie. It took about a half hour for anything of substance to happen and about an hour in for me to get interested. The "twist" at the end was OK but very predictable. My main problem with the movie is that the event that causes the spiral of events is so minor that it makes the movie a little unbelievable. Overall, if you like the "Lifetime" channel movies you will like this one. I do and did not. I give it a B-.

david_fam-318-899018 As a Canadian, I am once again embarrassed that this nation could have the utter stupidity to make such a horrendous film. From the opening scene it seems to be going somewhere - a young female police officer mistakes a middle-aged French business man for a rapist. Then the plot starts to disintegrate. This young, attractive officer who would probably be more convincing as mini-mouse at Disney World, tracks the man down to "apologize," ask him out on a date despite his being married and return again late at night to drink leading to an inevitable affair. There is a sequence of downright silly events that culminate in the turning point of the movie - he accidentally fires her service revolver in his hotel which is heard by the denizens of the neighbouring room who call the police. They have but a few minutes to get out of there. She insists they escape even though it's absolutely stupid - the bullet is irretrievably stuck in the wall and matches her gun and the room is under his passport. She convinces him to escape or she'll tell his wife about the affair - so they do, against all his instinct, culminating in her killing him in another hotel room to cover this up and keep her job. She is then able to convince fellow officers she was abducted by him and acted in self-defence. The turning point scene is remarkably unbelievable the way it transpires and lacks any semblance of logic. The French man was right - he had no reason to run. There was a ton of other ways to cover it up. How would his wife in France ever find out about an affair? Perhaps the most foolish aspect of the film was the main female officer's shift in character from timid obsequious loser (who's somehow a cop) to cold murderer. They threw in a quick scene of her throwing her alcoholic father out of her house (she told the French man that her father was dead) as if to shed some light on the dark nature of her character. Really? I mean seriously? The "twist" is also extremely predictable - once they flee he is entirely at her mercy. It should not be conceivable that she kills him based on events so far, but by this point the viewer will realize it's a bad film and a murder-cover-up will be used to solve the dilemma. It is an utterly unconvincing disappointing flop of a spectacle. Not to mention the pitiful acting throughout. Quick aside - this is why Canadian films suck - who makes a movie about murder and police where the turning point is accidentally firing a gun at a wall? It pains me to say it - how "Canadian" a story. Do not see this movie. Do not continue to believe that movie titles ending in "affair" usually have intelligent levels of intrigue. Do not waste your time. Canadians - do write your member of parliament to have this director incarcerated.
