Customer Reviews:
- A Sexy Thriller: I've followed Rainforest Films for a while now. I have to say that I love all of their movies. Especially MOTIVES. It's gritty, sexy, and the plot is very good (even though I didn't figure what the heck happened until the end). I also like the fact that it shows affluent blacks with class and dignity. You don't see that alot in movies these days. In my humble opinion this has the whole package in terms of a great indie film.
- very good erotic thriller: One thing which I enjoy about these films (black erotic thrillers) is that they really show that black films can be made about a lot more than just gansters and comedy. This film has a moderately complex plot, good acting but is rather predictable. It's not fair to compare a film like this to the other erotic thrillers from bigger production companies where they have more money and more experienced cast members. The company Rainforest Productions based in Atlanta is moving in the right direction with films such as the Trois series and this one.
Vivica A Fox is always a pleasure to see on screen. Both her and Shemar Moore are good actors when cast right, but they are no Hallie Berry and Denzel Washington. At times their acting seems rather forced and over the top. With experience they will get better I'm sure. As far as the story is concerned, it was nice but in the introduction, most can tell that Shemar's so-called best friend is a rather shady character and so is he. It's not hard to figure out who is trying to frame whom a little more than half way into the film. But as I mentioned before, this is still an enjoyable film. Even if you're able to figure everything in the film out well before the ending, it's interesting to see exactly how the events unfold.
If you're looking for something really challenging and very suspenseful, then perhaps a Law & Order episode would be better for that. - Excellent movie!: This was actually a good movie, considering it was a low budget one. It was well directed and the plot was on point. Anyone who is a fan of the starring actors in this movie should really go out and buy it. It is a true keeper!
- Motives: This movie kept me guessing from beginning to end!! I could not believe the outcome! If you like surprises, this is definitely the movie for you!
- Sometimes the one with motive isn't the killer.: This movie starts out as the usual boring plot of the millionaire playboy cheating on his beautiful wife and using money in influence to get everything he wants. Then it turns into a mystery of who killed the woman who was using the playboy to get what she wanted. Very nice acting and even the music score keeps you involved and wondering who done it. I never saw this picture in the theatre and assumed it was direct to DVD but after seeing it I'm happy of the choice to get this one. I'm not giving the ending here but it will keep you drawn in to the very end. I highly recommend that you got a little time to kill and nothing to do with the significant other then put this on and call it an evening. You will not be disapointed.
