The movie peaked my interest despite the low rating because these sorts of romantic drama-thrillers with a African American cast tend to have a lower rating than (at least I feel like) they deserve, for instance 'OBSESSED (2009)', 'NO GOOD DEAD (2014)' which both I liked a bunch.
But in this case the rating was justifiably low.
It starts out okay enough,even though Jaz Sinclairs acting is dodgy from the very first moment she pops into the film, and in all honest Regina Hall doesn't prove herself to be that much of a dramatic actor this time. I like her in comedies though but yeah not impressing here.
Morris Chestnut is easily the best actor in the film (well if you count out Michael K Williams who just appears pointlessly in 2 scenes) but not even he can save this.
But in the end the biggest problem with the film is not the acting but how stupid the plot is, again starts out okay but falls apart 1 hour in or so, and it becomes a constant struggle not to raise an eyebrow on some of the decisions the characters make in the film.
It's like a Lifetime movie really, and not one of the better ones.
