Wicker Park (2004)


Image hosted by Photobucket.com

The back cover of the video says, "Wicker Park is a remake of the 1996 French film "
L' Appartement." It combines the passion of "The End of the Affair", the obssession of "Unfaithful", and the deception of "Killing Me Softly". Its dizzying and enthralling twists and turns will keep you glued from start to finish."

If the producers really intended this movie to have those elements, then that's quite a feat to achieve. Forget about "Killing Me Softly" but the first two mentioned movies were two of the finest films and to at least have a tiny bit of their success would entail an achievement already. Unfortunately, this has none of the elements mentioned. It lacks passion, the obssession is plainly stupid, and the deception is irritating. The twists and turns would not make you glued to your seats but rather make you get remote and fast forward it to the end!
