    The camera work was a bit annoying, but otherwise this was an entertaining thriller.

    This movie was good. I really enjoyed every minute of it. The very first time I saw it, I got confused near the ending. After watching it a second time, I was saying to myself "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh danggg they set him up? LOL. I was quite surprised at how a lot of things turned out. I ...( read more)thought Allannah was seriously going to get the abortion. I thought Connie was Allannah's murderer. Biggest surprise of them all, I had no idea that Emery stole Connie from his friend "B". This movie was very interesting. I never saw this movie on television nor the theater. I was browsing movies on www.allmovie.com and came across this movie and said to myself "this sound good" so I purchased it. No regrets :)

    Trois 1, 2, & 3 then Motives 1 & 2. I don't know what to say! These movies continuing like this in a row are perfect! I am glad my sister told me about the very first one, "Trois I." I have been keeping up with them, and told her about the rest of them, "Trois III, & III, and Motives I, & II." Motives #2 just popped out at me in the video store, and I did not even know there was a #2. I hope number 3 is there next time I go. These movies are sexy and secretive. I like that. I like trying to figure out the "whodunnit" part to them all. They are very cunning and well acted and thought out. BRAVO!!!!!!

    Anything with Shemoore Moore in it is good. I'm his #1 fan but he doesn't know it. (LOL)
