The story didn't know if it wanted to be straight drama, or a thriller. It's about a woman who has an affair and the growing suspicion of her husband. I wish the traditional thriller qualities had entered the story a lot sooner, so much more could have been done with that. But just the same, I was totally involved from the start all the way through to the end. Though I would have handled the ending differently. This is not a spoiler because this does not happen in the movie. But at the end the main characters - the married couple - is in a car at night. They are having a very significant moment. There is a train crossing just ahead. That much IS in the movie. For my money - given the shady activities they have both been engaged in - I would have had them drive across the tracks only to get whacked and obliterated by a high speed train. Then black screen and credits while the train whistle blows. But that didn't happen. The actual ending is good, though. Just not as good as that. While it's true that the movie has intense sex scenes, in the end you realize - other than toplessness - they really don't show anything you wouldn't see on the average beach, and all those scenes combined occupy maybe 4 minutes of screen time out of two hours. So reviewers who are calling this porn are just factually incorrect. Expand

The subject was so similar to another movie by Lyne, but this one was much more exciting. If you like drama, you have to watch it. It makes everyone think more about having sex out of marriage.
I don't know why but I think there are many

I don't know why but I think there are many similarities between this and the novel The Scarlet Letter by Hawthorne.

Decent movie but I'm not into infidelity. It just proves no matter how well you think you can hide an affair, the spouse always knows. You stop doing the things you used to. Even when you don't realize it. At least the that guy deserved what he got.
