I saw Tie Me Up ! Tie Me Down! and The Skin I Live In some years ago and I really enjoyed them. However, this one is a real disappointment and I can't understand the good reviews. It's just a bunch of strange and absurd characters being put together and there's no real plot. None of the character arouses any sympathy and in the end you wonder what the moral of the story is.

Much better than I expected
24 October 2020
I was expecting something entertaining with great visual effects, which it has surely delivered. What I didn't expect was the change in the plot. Some people may think it doesn't respect the original, but I think it's a terrific new story. It has a more meaningful moral than the original. It's not just about evil people being punished - it's deeper than that. I even found myself getting teary at some point. For people who don't mind something new, I'd definitely recommend it.
Angelina Jolie is stunning and her performance is superb. It was pure enjoyment from start to finish.

Simply can't understand the high rating
6 September 2020
The plot summary sounded promising and it was high on my list of movies to watch. What a big mistake! It's one of the worst movies I've ever seen and I feel compelled to write an honest review to warn others. The movie is full of stiff and pretentious dialogues and the characters are absurd, stupid, unrealistic and unbearable. After the first hour I started playing it in faster speeds but then during the last half an hour I simply gave up. I've never felt so angry after watching a movie and I wish I could have my precious Sunday morning back. Definitely avoid this unless you are one of those who can find meaning looking at a black square. I would give it 0/10 if that was an option.
Savage Nights

Overrated rubbish
17 February 2019
I cannot relate to any character in this film at all (maybe except for the girl's mother, which is probably the only sane character). The man knows he is HIV-positive but he still keeps sleeping around, which is totally selfish and irresponsible. The girl knows it but still has unprotected sex with him. She's fully aware he's a total jerk but still keeps hanging around. It's hard to imagine any sane women can fall in love with such a disgusting person. The worst thing about it all is the film is based on the male protagonist's real life story. I have nothing against people's sexual orientation but to spread life-threatening virus around is totally selfish and despicable behavior.
