Infidelity Can Be Fatal

Let me start by saying I (usually) love lifetime movies! I don't mind the cheesy lines or bad acting or obvious plot holes! Having said that, THIS movie is literally so bad that Lifetime should be ashamed for putting their name behind it! (Yes, it's that bad!) The acting isn't the turn off here. In fact, once you realize the script the actors had to work with you kind of wonder if they shouldn't receive an academy award at some point? Here's my issue: The storyline is literally filled with so many contradictions it's maddening to watch!!! The plot makes zero sense. The story is pointless. There is literally no reason for any of it because it just goes endlessly in circles without ever making a point. The only thing that could have made it tolerable is if it said "based on a true story" at the end. Unfortunately, it's just a bunch of made up garbage from the writer. Look-I love lifetime movies! But trust me when I say, do not bother with this one!!!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm always a sucker for a Lifetime movie. It's that sterile, cut-rate suck-you-in factor that I'm looking for. Infidelity Can Be Fatal, well it's a hit-or-miss checklist of all things Uncorked. There's no murderous psycho to deal with, no wow factor twist, and no real conniving manipulation. There is however, that annoying best bud, sheer set locations, and some deep, sultry sexy stuff that with the music inserted, is almost kinda daft. "Fatal" is directed by Danny J. Boyle. No not the guy who helmed Slumdog Millionaire, that's Danny without the J. Boyle's film is about a female private investigator who is hired to follow her client's wife only to get followed herself while getting romantically involved with said client. Um, did you get all that? Infidelity Can Be Fatal weaves different plot lines as if Alfred Hitchcock himself was "rear windowing" the potboiler affairs. Every scene feels like a clue, every camera angle a mild POV, every persona a red-herring suspect. "Fatal" is involving for most of the way but there are times when it's also sort of blandly confusing. When the end credits roll up you wonder why "Fatal" didn't jump off the screen like it should. I mean it's like a whodunit that you keep asking to yourself, "who dun what?" "Fatal" stars Lanie McAuley, Matthew MacCaull, Carly Fawcett, and Sasha Piltsin. Heard of these guys? Well me neither. Their acting is anywhere from overly dramatic to reactive to middling. Their characters range from obvious thriller tags to overt stereotypes. In terms of Lifetime thespianism, yeah that's par for the course. Bottom line: Infidelity Can Be Fatal isn't as trashy and nutrition-less as something a la David DeCoteau but it's also not as razor-sharp as stuff like 2019's The Husband and/or A Sister's Revenge. In this case "infidelity can be mixed".

OK this is a lifetime movie so I am guessing that they make movies for people who don't care about plot holes, poor acting or even just a pointless story altogether? This movie had some good feedback so I thought take the plunge and have some faith that the reviews were not fake? Well judging by what I have watched those reviews were not entierly very honest. The whole plot is ludicrous from start to finish you do wonder if anyone kept a straight face while reading their scripts to this monstrosity of a TV movie. The leading character is a typical dumb blonde stereotype doing exactly the opposite to what they preach. One dimensional cardboard character who loves to punch the crap out of her boxing sparring trainer while in the next scene being scared whitless carrying a baseball bat. So it's a very condradicting cliche character. The whole movie is based on trust issues and that's about it. There is one huge plot hole where the main character kills someone because they were scared even though the person she kills has shown zero violence to anyone. Even worst the police let her go without questioning accepting that he deserved to die because he may or may not have paid someone to trash her house over. Bonkers and more far fetched than a Steven Spilberg movie, it beggars belief. Avoid this B movie because it's not even good it's just a frustrating dumb movie for dumb people!
