Overall Review Score

0.5 out of 10

Review

The Other Man is a 84-minute film that sees Liam Neeson and Antio Banderas compete for the love of a dead woman. While the film could have been an exciting mystery-thriller it fails to deliver, instead it takes the audience on a undeveloped, pointless and shocking display of poor film making. The storyline fails to excite, the acting is lacklustre, and the major plot lines are masked behind dialogue that slowly lulls the audience into a comfortable sleep. Overall, the Other Man is a film that should be avoided at all costs and leaves the audience, within the first five minutes of the film starting, debating whether or not the film, which was directed by Richard Eyre, would have been better if the cast and crew were replaced by other men.

Comments:

While the films premise was good and the well-known actions - Liam Neeson and Antonio Banderas - made me hopeful for a great film I was left severely disappointed. The film ended up having an abysmal storyline, dreadfully poor acting and seemed to take forever to get through its 84-minute run time to conclude with a equally boring and lousy ending. Would definitely suggest you avoid this film.

While the majority of the film was pointless and the storyline had as much excitement as a Cactus, the film has to receive some credit simply because the studio somehow convinced Liam Neeson and Antonio Banderas to work together on this witless film.
