Verdict on Demise
Recap
The movie follows a Latino lover who cheats on his wife. He begins a new family, but his life takes an unexpected turn and he never knows who to trust in his life.
Worst Parts
The movie is too long and drags through the process of getting the story told. It takes a few unexpected twists and turns but for the most part is trying to put too much together. None of the characters seem like good people, with everyone happily cheating on each other like nothing was wrong. The performances struggle to match the story and leave us falling down an overly long Fatal Attraction.
Final Thoughts –Demise is a wannabe Fatal Attraction.
