Passion

Disappointed and I was warned. I really hoped I will be different and I will like it or at least it won't be as bad as it was described by viewers. Unfortunately I was completely wrong. it was bad. If the beginning was creating some kind of intrigue then the end was a mess. Idea was good but still after watching this, all around me in the cinema I could hear one big summary about the movie - WTF? I really loved main characters and even main actors - even Noomi who received some viewer critique but I wished this movie to be just better.It wasn't. I gave 3 but actually it is a big bonus. In the first moment after watching this movie I would five it 2 or even 1.

I've always been annoyed with Brian De Palma, because he so blatantly plagiarized Hitchcock, without ever developing a style of his own that could survive without constantly borrowing from the master. Nonetheless, De Palma did direct some decent movies, my favorites being Dressed to Kill, Body Double and Scarface. Be that as it may, his recent efforts (Femme Fatale, Passion) were so shamelessly bad, that I will have to watch closer to make sure I do not run into one of his mongrels again. I could not watch Passion to the end, it was just too much. I'll be brief: Direction: sloppy, disinterested, too linear Camera: cheap, TV-ish Acting: appalling, especially Rapace is shockingly bad, robotic and not believable Story: run-of-the-mill B-movie

Terrible movie. Cant believe how bad this was. Its very rare that I leave the cinema mid way through a movie but for this I willingly made an exception. The acting was really bad, the script was horrendous, really bad! I only joined IMDb.com so that I can write a review of this movie - thats how bad this movie was! I thought that there was a very disappointing performance from Noomi, I thought she would be better. I thought Paul Anderson was also completely bad too and his name deserves a special mention for how awful his performance was. Some completely ridiculous bits in the movie which beggars belief as to how it was accomplished. Such a pity that Brian De Palma was involved in this movie, I'm sure there was lots of squirming at the premiere when it became apparent how bad this movie actually was...

"Are you kidding me?" "is this a joke?" these were the questions I asked to writers, producer, director and actors who involved in this movie as well as to the critics who gave high ratings to it. Bad scenario, bad acting (excluding Rachel McAdams). This movie reminded me of the movie Room in Rome which also tried so hard make a terrible scenario to look attractive with girl to girl action. I'm not a movie critic or somebody who can understand from cinematography etc. I'm just a keen movie watcher who watches average of 60 movies a year. According to me this is a terrible movie and feel like this is my responsibility to warn people not to waste their time and movie to watch a beyond mediocre movie.
