I just watched it for the first time. Talk about the ultimate revenge! What did YOU think?

Despite the many set backs one may anticipate for this movie (JLo's back acting, "Sleeping with Enemy" has already been done, shaky supporting cast) this movie actually turns out to be quite captivating.
The premise is Slim (Jennifer Lopez) falls for a driven man who, at first, appears to be the knight she was waiting for her whole life. She starts getting upset when he openly has affairs and begins to be abused by her husband (the nice guy from the now canceled "Once and Again"). After he threatens her life, she decides that she needs to escape him completely to protect herself and the life of her little girl.
The suspense level is kept high because the husband's level of evil is unparralled and Slim continues to outwit him. The actress who plays her daughter did a great job as did Juliette Lewis (where did she go?)
If you look for flaws, they will be easy to find. (Why does JLo call her mother in law when she is trying to break free from her husband?). But if you just accept the movie for the shear movie going experience, you will enjoy the show.
My wife dragged me along and I enjoyed it as much as her. I believe that I have written ENOUGH. Ha Ha Ha.

I don't blame her one bit. I wish that every woman being abused by their husbands could do this. Why would a woman want to be beaten up just for defending herself and her child. I hate the fact that so many women are abused and cannot get out of that relationship. I thought it was really cool that she anticipate every move he made and be ready for what he came at her with.

i liked the movie alot.. but i found it degratting about how the cop told jlo taht she was lucky.. i mean come on not all girls are weak. I think that she kicked butt and was smart in the movie either though that was probably all the driector and those other people but ya she was smart in the movie.

I turned it off when he started hitting her. It just made no sense that he started it out of the blue - and I just couldn't buy it as a story anymore. There is enough real crap in the world without watching people play at it.

I thought it was pretty predictable but still damn good to watch. If only every woman (and man) in that sort of situation had the courage to get out of there.

I thought the ending was good. She gave him a nice long slow azz kicking.
