The Place For The Latest Movie Reviews
Cast: John W. Sloan Jr., Kimberly Grant, Alisha May, Ishmael Blue, Wayne Peterson
Two womens' friendship is put to the test when they fall for the same man. Each one harbors secrets that diminish the strength of their relationship with one another. Are these women willing to sacrifice their friendship to follow their treacherous hearts?
"Treacherous" tells the story of Saighe and Khouri who are close friends and roommates. One night while at a club they meet Justice and he goes home with Saighe. Khouri is aroused by Justice and sleeps with him too, although Saighe doesn't know it. For four years she doesn't know her boyfriend is sleeping with her best friend. When Saighe finds out she is pregnant Justice decides he wants to do the right thing to the dismay of Khouri.
To talk about the film too much here would only ruin the surprises because the story is littered with twists and turns, as soon as you think you got it all figured out another twist comes around the corner to throw you off course again. These twists and turns go all the way to it's unpredictable ending. This is a low-budget film so don't expect any Oscars worthy performances here but the entire cast did a terrific job playing their roles and production wise the film also looks pretty good, much better than you might expect.
Writer/Director, JanaMorea Bradley has created a clever and engaging film that draws you in right from the start and it keeps you glued to the screen the entire time as you wait and wonder what is going to happen next. I found the film to be so much better than I had expected it to be mainly because of it's story, lies and deceit are plentiful here and this is one film I couldn't get enough of. It's not without flaws but over-all this is a highly entertaining film that I have no problem recommending.
