At first, I was thinking what am I making myself watch? But shortly after, I was somewhat hot under the collar. If this bunch doesn't press buttons nothing will. They knew how to make things pleasing on the eye. Down side strangely for me is I'd liked to have seen more of Felix rather than the fading abs of her bit on the side.
You could say the acting is below average and Felix (the lead) does what many plastic looking women do these days and stay in touch with her feminine side whilst being as vain as possible, yes that's women, subjective right. Right? Denial. Not really. Flick through Facebook profiles and just about every display picture or recent selfie is either a duck pout or some skin revealing selfie just for attention and approval. In the same new trend or fashion, women online on dating sites or the vast majority mainly use them now for either a fling (not caring they're cheating and not usually being honest with their new snap chat waves of crushes) or for constant approval.
Now where does that fit in with this review? Well the truth is this Felix woman has a devoted husband at first glance, he works to maintain what I can only assume is a very expensive and incredibly unrealistic place in London - luxury and fancy make up at its finest. It's almost like an American movie because they never show real life. London based steamy drama - which by the way is a rare thing. Definitely not a thriller. It's just drama let's face it. Anyway has plenty of what she needs accept one thing, and that's not passion as she makes out, that's an ego boost. Women crave an ego boost and excitement. Until things get out of hand. I mean golden rule for you millennials, never mess on your own doorstep - especially the one your husband works all hours for.
Felix takes bad advice from another girl - who is keen to tell us she prefers men to be hung - thanks girls - and who we see in all her glory early on to lure us in. That's all I'll say in regards to the movie events. But the script isn't bad at all in fact sorry to say it's real life and very fitting. With now twice as many women cheating online or out with their mates as men these days and more women than us men surveyed admitted to being online for no strings when they've already got a partner. But, instead of coming to realise she's doing wrong, she proceeds to play the neglected hard done to card and can't help herself. Meanwhile like as always it's the man that seemingly has to step up and apologise - not that he should - and she's got away with everything she's done. No problem love.
I bet a lot of girls have seen this or heard or it. It's the type they'd advertise relentlessly in cosmo. Woman gets it all and goes wrong. Woman gets eye candy etc. Woman wears stunning clothing. You know that stuff. Fact is a lot of people watch this stuff because they want the eye candy and the fifty shades of moments. Clue in the title. It's about shades of one person who dips her toes in the water to suit herself and her own needs.
But come on. Very pleasing on the eyes. Almost all brunettes in this are gorgeous (no blondes which I'm happy about) and although the scenes are steamy I'd liked even more. But they didn't lose focus on what they were trying to do which is also rare because normally in movies they do and this spoilers the viewing.
Slightly underrated have to say really. Decent pace, not over the top in terms of what you get and not really lacking in anything to be fair. If you watch closer, you'll see tone is quiet and tension builds so that's not the acting at fault. If ever you want to get in the mood or get someone else on your level, watch this.
