Attraction

I liked this movie, but if someone were to ask me why, I'd have to think a bit, then probably give some rambling, disjointed answer which would clarify nothing really, to them or to me. This film strikes me as sort of a modern-world variation on "The Bridge of San Luis Rey." It captured very well the contradictory and confusing state that various descriptions of an event can produce through all the "he said--she said--friend said--neutral observer said" narratives. Every one believes they are relating events objectively for the most part, but each one's recital is so inextricably bound up with personal wishes, private grudges, subconscious emotional needs, that the same event is interpreted and presented in vastly different ways. You go from blaming one person, to absolving him; then blaming him again; then shading culpability amongst two or three before throwing the whole thing over as a mess where everybody is at fault. This movie seemed to capture that phenomenon fairly well. It pulls you into a state of mind, rather than just leading you along a well-defined storyline.My only very slight disappointment was that I picked out the truly "bad guy" after the first few scenes with him. Pure dumb luck on my part perhaps, but it left me with no surprise at the end. That's OK though--I enjoyed the movie just as much for all that.

I actually wasn't "attracted" to this movie at first. I really had to give it a chance and pay attention rather than making snap judgments.. The acting was great and that is what helped bring out the nuances that ultimately helped me understand the complex script. Very well done by all as the story unfolds rather than exploding into just another predictable bit of schlock. The characters were interwoven well and the acting was what helped untie the knots and presumptions. I had made quickly, earlier. It also touched on the issues of how we address our own ways of judging people and their trust worthiness. My motto used to be, trust everyone until they prove otherwise. Not a good plan in real life. Good Job...Everyone. Even the directing & editing were really on top of this. If the timing was not so tight, it would have ruined the movie, instead, it was brought to life.

At first, I thought this movie was going to be just another typical stalker/slasher/psycho BF type of movie where she doesn't just call the cops on the dude. I also thought the first half of the movie did move a bit too slow. I was kinda bored but I liked the actors. But things are not as they seem all around for these four characters. If you were unsure of whose feelings were real and whose were otherwise unstable, watch the second half closely. The pace picks up a bit but wait for the ending! Feelings unravel... the truth is revealed... boom! Not a typical movie ending.

This movies isn't bad, but there are some confusing points. It is a suspense movie involving love triangles and obsessions, but it does tend to get lost in itself. Still, it is worth a watch. Matthew Settle was great as the leading man and I always enjoy a movie with Tom Everett Scott. If anything, when you watch this, pay attention, because this is a movie where you have to pay attention to the little clues throughout the scenes to be able to follow the plot correctly. I say go ahead and give it a view.

I liked this movie. The story was good, the actors are all extremely talented and the ending is NOT at all what I expected it to be. I liked the fact that the ending wasn't clear until almost the very last 15 minutes of the movie! But, I wish the ending had been a bit different. There were several ways the writer could've ended it and I just would have liked to have felt that "Garrett" ( SPOILER ALERT) got what he deserved without having the car accident!

This movie was not a movie I would have paid for but I did. So the star guy was actually a good actor. The movie didn't achieve what it was striving for, but it achieved conveying what it was trying to achieve striving for.

Great acting and well written movie! I would strongly recommend to others!

THIS WAS A DIFFERENT MOVIE ===NOT 5 STAR BUT FAIRLY GOOD ===
