Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Sammy (Sean Faris) who has to work a double, comes home at lunch to surprise his wife (Rebecca Reaney) only to get more surprised as he catches her in the act with another man (Mehcad Brooks). At gun point we get their biographies and intimate details of the affair. This is a soap opera drama which is basically a three man play. Okay for what it was, I just didn't find it entertaining.Based on true events in New Orleans, although I am sure this scenario has been played out more than once.Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Rebecca Reaney)

I've seen many bad movies in my life, but this one is probably on the top 10 worse movies i've ever seen.I mean, the over-acting from all actors made me wana cring. Firstly, that Sean Faris guy is just awful in everything he does. Starting with the way he is acting all romantic while on the phone with his wife, and also the way he is Mr.Friendly guy at his work, and finally as Mr.Angry at his wife. He also tries to show-off his muscles every time the cam is on him lol.I also got disgusted with the amount of sweat in that room. Just Imagine the smell :-S.anyhow, Bad movie, not worth watching. I give it 1/10

Not every film you see is something you've been anticipating for a long time. Sometimes you see a movie and think "hmm that looks interesting." Such was the case for Adulterers. It's safe to say most people will go into this film with that mind set and hopefully they'll remember that this film is an independent project with a lower budget.Right off the back, it's important to know this script is all over the place. Dialogue in most scenes feels so off it's difficult to listen to. It doesn't help when the acting feels so overdone that it's not being delivered. There are several occasions where some tension will build only to be torn down by the following line being terribly delivered or a reaction from the characters that feels completely unbelievable; cringe-worthy even.The premise itself is simple and a perfect set up for a thriller. Your average guy comes home on his anniversary to find his wife cheating on him and the rest of the film experience is to find out whether or not he kills them. Moving along the story, you learn certain "twists" about certain characters which keeps things interesting and new. A few of these attempt are indeed interesting. The rest feel out of place and make you ask "Wait... what?" Outrageous and disturbing behavior/content aside, you may wonder why you're sticking around to see how it ends.Here are some almost strengths. Yes, there are a few of those. As mentioned before, despite how bad the writing might be, the filmmakers do a good job and holding on to you to see how it ends. Tension does indeed build enough so that you're a part of the thrill ride. The progression and structure of the story itself is compelling. Granted, it's obvious the filmmaker was trying desperately hard to be a Scorsese/Shyamalan (early Shyamalan). However, it makes for a solid and thought-provoking ending to the film. Aside from the "strength" it's hard to recommend this film to anyone who's looking for an absolutely fantastic thriller. It won't be found here but if you're searching around Netflix and have nothing to watch. There might be worse films to use an hour and a half with.

It was a decent premise and could have made a good film but from the opening credits, the guy sounded like he belonged in Steel Magnolias as opposed to being in New Orleans. It's 2016! Everyone has heard New Orleans accents by now and they should know they aren't dripping in sweet tea & magnolias. Get it right and maybe, MAYBE I could watch the film again. Not only was it a terribly fake accent from all who attempted it, it was SO FORCED -- sometimes there, sometimes not.Other people might like it better than I did if they can ignore the accents or don't care that they're fake. I've seen worse acting at a local high school, and the plot was plausible and interesting.
