Summary: Careful for What You Wish For
Review: Diane Lane played a married woman Connie Sumner who meets a handsome and charming used book dealer Paul Martel, played by Olivier Martinez. He helps her as she is bruised providing her with first aid. But the attraction between the two is deep and is making her lose her mind. The lustful affair consumes her family life because she has bought into the notion that the affair will lead to hopefully something more of a meaningful relationship which doesn't. It's just sex between the two of them but yet she can't help but have more of it until it hits her that he isn't going to keep her on the side while she is still married to her husband Edward, played by Richard Gere. She doesn't expect her husband to find out until he does and it leads to some dangerous consequences which will nearly destroy the relationship between husband and wife.
As good as the movie was with plot and irony, what the character was doing was playing with fire. An affair is not a surefire guarantee that is going to lead to bliss and happiness. Think before you act on what you do.

Summary: Well-paced, edgy story with steamy romantic scenes
Review: This is a film that at first seems familiar. It's about a suburban housewife's love affair and the unexpected aftermath. Diane Lane shines in the role of the woman, happily married to Richard Gere and the mother of a 9-year old son. They live in an upscale Westchester community and their marriage seems perfect. Then one day, while in New York City, she accidentally meets Oliver Martinez, a bookseller with huge apartment in the Soho-Tribecca area. One thing leads to another and soon they are engaged in a hot affair. And when I say "hot", I really mean it. The erotic scenes are some of the steamiest I've even seen and I could feel their passion right down to my own toes.There are complications, of course. Especially when the husband finds out. Richard Gere is a fine actor and the scene in which he comes face to face with his wife's lover calls for superb acting ability. There's tension and upset seething as they make polite conversation and what follows seems inevitable in the context of the story. How it all plays out is different from what I expected. I was completely drawn into the story and felt a deep understanding for all the characters and their motivations. The screenplay was excellent, making the characters seem real and sympathetic as it manages to create the feeling that nothing good can come of this. It is well paced with an edginess that is completely appropriate to the story. And I certainly wasn't disappointed in the conclusion. Definitely recommended.

Summary: Diane Lane in the greatest performance of her career
Review: This movie is not just about a woman cheating on her husband and finding intense sexual pleasure with the man that she is having an affair with, it goes beyond that I think. Connie (Diane Lane) and Edward (Richard Gere) seem to be from the very beginning of the movie a kind of mismatch couple. It looks like everything is not peaches and cream in their marriage and possibly the only reason that they are still together is because of the son that they share. Even before Connie meets and gets sexually involve with Olivier Martinez, you can sense that something is not right in her life she seems kind of sad and nostalgic especially when her husband is around. I can't say that I really blame Connie for looking for something outside of her marriage when it is obvious that she does not have it at home with her husband. Diane Lane is not only sexy and beautiful but gives a powerhouse performance that resulted in her nabbing an Oscar nomination as Best Actress for her outstanding work in this film. A highly underrated actress in my opinion she more than prove to Hollywood that she is a brilliant talent to be reckoned with. Richard Gere has his good moments in this film but overall his character is too vulnerable at times and although you feel sorry for him that his wife cheated on him it is Diane that I found myself rooting for through out the whole movie. I don't want too give too much away for those you who still may not have seen it. This is a great movie with an excellent cast and wonderful performances by everyone but as I said it is the sexy and divine Diane Lane that steals every scene from her co-star husband and from everyone else for that matter. I recommend this movie all the way and maybe you can draw your own conclusion if you think that Connie did right or wrong in having an affair outside of the marriage. This movie is FANTASTIC and is one that is not to be missed.

Summary: Proof that someone always gets hurt
Review: Yowtch! Richard Gere plays the cuckold to Diane Lane's (excellent performance by this under-appreciated actress) casual falling into a passionate and seductive affair with a sexy Frenchman. Director Adrian Lyne (who also directed Fatal Attraction) has created an adult thriller full of passion, sexuality, rage, riveting tension based on the theme of infidelity, a subject he seems to have mastered in all its myriad nuances.
Hold onto your seats. Top-notch entertainment and sexy as all get out - but in a very special and unique way. You really have to see it yourself to appreciate what I mean.

Summary: Didn't quite live up to all the hype...
Review: I really expected to enjoy this movie based on the hoopla surrounding Diane Lane's performance. However, when it was all over I wasn't all that moved and was left with several questions, such as: 1.) Why did she cheat? 2.) How will they ever get away with "it" when so many people have seen Diane Lane's character and the Frenchman together (Richard Gere's disgruntled employee, the private investigator, another female character I presume was the Frenchman's wife)? While I enjoyed much of the cinematography (the wind sequence was absolutely beautiful) and seeing Richard Gere playing against type, I still just didn't get what was so great. In fact, I saw this as another vehicle made to show gratitutious sex and then laud an Oscar nomination on the female lead. Anyone remember Halle Berry in "Monster's Ball"?

Summary: Faithless
Review: As a general rule of thumb I rarely ever review films but after being subjected to Adrian Lyne's incredibly pompous and sordid offering " Unfaithful " I felt a critique was not only needed but somehow necessary. If nothing else to exercise some demons that I still feel when reminded of this montrosity. Where to begin!? Theres so much that is wrong with this movie that is difficult to know where to start. Lets begin with pretentions. If this movie is guilty of anything its simply that by disguising this tacky, sordid mess as a poor mans art-house film Mr. Lyne is equally guilty of attempting to dress up this blunder as a movie that tries far too hard to " say something " about the consequences of maritial infidelity. There is simply little to be found here that might even be considered remotely original or noteworthy. Diane Lane, portraying a housewife/fundraiser, who obviously has far too much time on her hands, literally runs into Oliver Martinez a young Frenchman ( major cliche! ) in Manhattan and begins a torrid affair with the young man. Its bad enough in this directors feeble attempts to portray our star as " good person " by casting her as someone who does charitable work i.e. thereby she, deep down, must be a really good person, No!? A move that seems truly contrived and desperate. Plus, since absurdities seem to abound, they make our young Romeo a book enthusiast...again a desperate attempt to portray this character as someone who isn't just a pretty face! Playing on the audiences sympathies there is actually a scene in which our misguided heroine sits in an empty subway car home and breaks-down after here first tryst with our young stud. In a feeble attempt to cast Ms. Lane as one who understands the seriousness of her mistake but one who nevertheless continues to fall victim to this same error in judgement time after time. And yes, while Ms. Lane's performance is noteworthy I seemed to be unable to gather little sympathy for her. No matter how hard the director may have tried to paint her with a rather large dose of understanding! Its difficult to gather any empathy for a grown woman who seems to run strictly on emotion and has little intellectual skills at her disposal. Thereby awarding Diana all the emotional developement of a sixteen year high-school student! And to make this family truly complimant each other we have Richard Gere playing the clueless husband. An obvious good provider, all-around wonderful father and all that he seems truly miscast as an equally thick father figure. To take this brilliant mistake even further Mr. Lyne awards his viewer with a couple of steamy sex-scenes in which our heroine and her young lover are shown in full nudity all the while making Whoppee while the audience is supposedly to buy into how truly passionate they really are and how Ms. Lane, apparently in need of a hobby, just needs to have her sexual desires fulfilled.And, in a relentless attempt to make Ms. Lane's character even more sympathetic, our young Frenchman turns out to be a cad! It seems as though our heroine cannot catch a break! Not that that prevents her from just one more sordid tryst with that two-timing Frenchman. Granted most Americans are easily 'titillated' but I suspect these episodes were thrown in, sadly, in an attempt to gather the film some badly needed notoriety. Although with all the talk of these "hot and heavy' scenes it seems to have worked! It's all so obvious in its panderings and low-brow unoriginality! But it does get better. Obviously Mr. Lyne felt that a film about infidelity wasn't enough so at the half-way mark we have this movie doing a complete about-face and becoming a murder mystery! At this point I've thrown up my hands and wondered if I'd changed the channel unknowingly and am now watching a different movie! And yes, even then the movie simply falls apart even more so leaving the viewer with an ending that was far too ambiguous and self-serving for anyone to muster up any enthusiasm for. Overall an uncomprehensible mess that that never seemed to find its own direction and one in which relied far too heavily upon pathetic and contrived episodes that pandered to an audiences most basest instincts. After watching " Unfaithfull " is there anyone else who feels a hot shower would be in order to cleanse oneself from this grimey, vulgar mess?

Summary: about the movie unfaithful......
Review: This story is basically about infidelty. It is about an adulterous wife played by actress Diana Lane. The sex WAS hot and intense(should be explicit full frontal nudity- censored for sale in all Singapore video shops as VCD). This is a PWC film(pass with cut) based on MDA's censoring guidelines. This is another good movie to watch.

Summary: Made Me A Nervous Wreck! Not A First Date Movie
Review: I wasn't expecting a good movie, I'll admit it. I was expecting more Hollywood churned out assembly line garbage. This isn't garbage at all, it was refreshingly edgy.
I was suprised to say the least. It takes a lot to put me on edge. This movie succeeded. I was a nervous wreck. Especially when Diane Lane starts acting shady and gives herself away. I was talking to the movie, screaming she was gonna give herself away, lol, much to the dismay of my date.
Adrian Lynne does a beautiful direction job. It reminded me of "Nine 1/2 Weeks" meets "Fatal Attraction".
The love making scenes really are super hot too!
My only beef is the deleted scenes are better than the scenes in the movie. Make sure you check out the alternative ending! Much better.
This isn't a first date movie. If you end up giving the cheating wife pointers on how not to get caught, it may make you look like a pro, a-hem.
I give it 3 1/2 stars.

Summary: Unfaithful - uninteresting
Review: An incredibly boring reinactment demonstrating the pitfalls of adultery and betrayal. Thirty minutes into the movie and I simply didn't care about any of the characters. Yes, Diane Lane's performance is good, but it is surrounded by a story that is so boring and predictable they should prescribe it for insomniacs.

Summary: Sexy, a little too, but good
Review: The sex scenes, they are for real. If you're timid, then watch alone. The sex scenes are racy, vulnerable, gritty, and in-your-face. But, they kind of need to be that way so we can truly appreciate what the character is caught up in. I'm not sure that point could have been delivered otherwise. Diane and Richard both deliver steallar performances.
