    Not bad but it?s let down by the fact that all the characters are unlikable and so you care very little of the eventual outcome. It does have its dramatic moments though.

    Thriller starring Diane Lane and Richard Gere. The couple have been married for many years and have a son. One day Diane bumps into a stranger (Olivier) and they start a passionate affair. Richard senses there is something wrong and hires a detective to follow his wife. He finds ...( read more)out how her lover is and approaches him, in an act of rage he kills him and covers up the murder. Good cast and story. Very similar to A Perfect Murder, Presumed Innocent and What Lies Beneath.

    Diane Lane so seductive, Richard Gere so unproductive, Olivier Martinez has to slip in as the French Lover. What is this movie doing?
  • October 13, 2007
    This movie is crazy. I will admit it is extra Extra sexy, but the best part is certainly Richard Gere burying a man in a pile of garbage.

    I'm not gonna spoil the movie...but I'm surprised at which death occurs....

    ...and God made Diane Lane...
  • November 10, 2009
    Unfaithful is a dramatic, erotic, romantic, existential, thriller, an infidelity drama with nicely shot, well-edited and features a standout performance by Diane Lane. It was better than I might imagine. There are many subtle details and intriguing metaphors to Lyne's film that ...( read more)will engage the more faithful viewer. I have seen and others Adrian Lyne's films and the deaths are acceptable. Murder is not. We know there will definitely be lots of sex, perhaps erotic but at least passionate, along with the usual betrayal that someone unwisely commits and holds grave consequences.Someone may die.But a cold-blooded murder is new and awkward...Martinez and Lane let the chemistry take over with more than one steamy scene during their furtive encounters, while Gere's fears shift into fourth gear when he notices lots of new fancy underwear and a wife with more frequent absences.

Critic Reviews


May 10, 2002
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Unfaithful says some true things about marriage, true enough that men will be looking askance at their wives for days after seeing it. full review

May 10, 2002
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Instead of pumping up the plot with recycled manufactured thrills, it's content to contemplate two reasonably sane adults who get themselves into an almost insoluble dilemma. full review

May 9, 2002
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Despite some fine, nuanced acting, Unfaithful doesn't get much deeper than a romance novel. full review

May 8, 2002
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

This seductive tease of a thriller gets the job done. It's a scorcher. full review

    I like this movie specially the character played by Richard Gere. Even if he found out that his wife cheated on him, he still accepts her, and even ready to sacrifice for the sake of his love to his wife.

    (2002 Diector: Adrian Lyne) Outstanding performances of unbridled passion with Richard Gere & Diane Lane as a happily married couple. Lane meets quite by chance the awesomely sexy seductor Olivier Martinez. Also the then relatively unknown Michelle Monaghan in a support role. Story of a passionate affair that happened quite by accident between the happily married suburban Mom & an intriguing stranger "house sitting" a friend's loft and book store business. Beautifully edited. Sobering tale of lust and passions complicating an otherwise superb life. Tragic story. MUST SEE!!
