Summary: Diane Lane is superb in fantastic Unfaithful!!
Review: A fantastic film with a brilliant star performance by Diane Lane

This is the kind of movie I wish Hollywood would make more of. It's a brilliant film that has subtlety, style, class and depth. When you couple that to a truly remarkable performance by the films star Diane Lane, you have a winner. Diane Lane (The Perfect Storm, Streets Of Fire) plays Connie Sumner, whose whole life starts to full apart when she becomes obsessed with a handsome (and I mean HANDSOME) Frenchman. The effect of the affair that she indulges in are catastrophic and tragic, and are presented in a heartbreakingly haunting way. Richard Gere is also very good in the film as Diane Lane's cuckold husband, but this is a Diane Lane tour-de-force that should see her win an Oscar nomination. Judging by the films box-office and critical success, it seems that Adrian Lyne (Fatal Attraction) has served up another winner. Go see this film, if for nothing else, go see it for Diane Lane's acting. This movie and Lane's performance will stay with you. Excellent!

Summary: Unfaithful....Best movie of the year!!
Review: See this movie! If for no other reason....OLIVIER MARTINEZ!! I'm telling you ladies...I had to catch the drool through the whole movie. It can't come out on video soon enough! The movie itself was good. It had a good plot, kept you going right up to the ending that you totally did not expect. Definately a movie for the video library. A little risky for the kiddies but would make a great date movie.
SEE IT!!

Summary: Top Ten
Review: This movie immediately went on my top ten list with Terms of Endearment and On Golden Pond etc... It's vastly different in nature but every bit as good. Sometimes people cheat for no reason whatsoever and that's a hard thing to accept. Get over it quickly and let the movie take you where it wants to. The rollercoaster of emotions you go through may make you have to stop and catch your breath before driving home. Don't miss this movie!!! Diane Lane doesn't even need words to get you to feel what she's feeling and Richard Gere was wonderful. I've never liked him in anything before.

Summary: Adrian Lynes serves passion at a steep price
Review: Irish Director Adrian Lyne (Fatal Attraction, Indecent Proposal, Lolita, and the disturbing Jacob's Ladder) gives Diane Lane an Oscar-worthy performance. Every subtle emotion and deception is panoshly silked through every scene, every image. Richard Gere, understatedly brilliant, and plays the dutiful husband to the adulterous wife. Men with stay at-home wives may wish to notice that all's not well in the confines of the suburbs if one meets the mystery of Olivier Martinez (or any other seductive stranger). After her first act of adultery, the train ride is amazingly well-done with conflicting emotions and painful, yet pleasurable, emotional reactions to what just happened, (and what she was missing?). Near the end, she even though "what if I had taken the cab instead of going into the seductive man's home?" The sex was hot and intense and so was Lyne's brilliant capture and Oscar-worthy steering of Diane Lane's every emotional turn. The film also proved that life after an affair can go on just as he proved in Fatal Attraction and Indecent Proposal though is not one to be desired. A twist of fate ending was brilliant leaving you with the "what did they do?" or, rather, "what would you do?" Very European ending that always rests the conclusions in your own mores--rather than in the filmmakers. American audiences have to have way to much closure rather than drifting off to think: what would they do? Fatal Attraction had to have an end. Unfaithful had to be faithful to the unknown journey of the viewer in the back of his or her own mind. Maybe the criticism listed here is the lack of viewers wanting to face the challenge of what would they do? -Felecia Constance Rowe, Chairwoman, Felecia Constance Rowe, Inc.

Summary: Perfect performance by Diane Lane raises Unfaithful to great
Review: Unfaithful is genuinely a very, very good film. I would even go as far as calling it a great film, but what really makes this film so different from other films of this genre, is that it is the female who is Unfaithful AND she has no real reason to be. The only reason is circumstance itself. To pull this off, the film-makers had to find a special actress in order to make the character of Connie sympathetic and vulnerable despite the wrong-doing she commits. They found the perfect 'star' in consummate and prolific actress Diane Lane (from "The Perfect Storm" and "A Walk On The Moon"). Lane's performance is perfection. She is so vulnerable and heartbreakingly sympathetic despite being to a certain extent the villainess. It is her actions that have tragic repercussions that will reverborate forever, yet she is also so ikeable. It takes a great actress to pull that off and Lane does it superbly while keeping us glued to the screen with her wonderful facial expressions and utstanding beauty. Richard Gere shines in the second half of the film, but this is Lane's film and she raises Unfaithful from merely a great film to a whole new level. This is a must see performance and a must see film. The best of 2002 so far and with over [amt]million at the worldwide box office so far it is a deserving critical and commercial hit. A great film made even greater by Diane Lane!

Summary: To Many Unanswered Questions
Review: This is an intriguing film with a contrast of performances. .... Accordingly, this film receives my mixed reviews. Excellent for Diane Lane, good for Oliver Martinez, and poor for Richard Gere and the plot.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not Good Til The Last Drop
Review: This was a good idea for a movie with good actors and great directing, but the end was a disappointment. Richard Gere was great as always, but the movie took a weird turn some time in the middle and I was never able to get back into the flow of it. If you have nothing else to do and you like Richard Gere watch the movie, but if your toenails need clipping or your car needs washing I would opt for that first.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: lame
Review: this is a chick movie and barely a thriller. Lane plays the part of the bored housewife, Gere the impotent husband. Then comes Martinez, the cute frenchman who says the right things at the right time. Straight out of a romance novel. I also thought certain parts of this movie was just sick and twisted. I mean the whole snow globe thing? Huh? And the mexico thing at the end? who wrote this? Lane, gere, martinez... good performances.. but the writing is just horrid. Unbelievable [...]
