the lifetime channel air this in october but i only get around to watch it now . it the old eternal triangle again  small town connecticut boy dave ford ( matt long ) have a quick fling with his best friend girlfriend and emily darrow ( emmanuelle chriqui ) and on the eve of his departure for law school in new york and think about her for the next five year while he isn not do contract and brief and run into her again when he return home after the death of his father on the eve of a big exam five year later and and get involve with her romantically again . but director and co writer matthew cole weiss go way over the top and frame the whole thing in flashback a dave confesses to murder emily and her husband and another one of her lover in front of ( here come the spoiler ) a lesbian cop who also a flame of emily . weiss overdo the flanging effect by which dave get to see chunk of his previous life flash before his eye even before he actually dead and cut those in even while dave and emily be have sex and thereby ruin the soft core porn shot that give even some otherwise pretty lame lifetime movie at least a bit of audience appeal . i couldn not help but flash back myself to jam m. cain and how much well he write woman like this in his classic thriller ( all adapt into hit movie ) the postman always ring twice and double indemnity and mildred pierce . it also doesn not help that the film end with the bad guy ( the bad girl and actually ) triumphant and the decent and if naïve and stupid and hero seemingly on his way to the lethal injection table  or that the actor play the people dave and emily be cheat on be both good look than they be . incidentally and though this film go straight to cable in the u. s. there be some blank spot on the soundtrack indicate where swear word be blipped and so i presume this get a theatrical release somewhere in the world .
