Mistrust (2018)
3/10
Serial mistress
1 June 2018
Warning: Spoilers
It seems like the main character spends half her dialogue or more explaining why she chooses to only be in relationships with men who are married.

Nowhere in the movie are there discussions regarding infidelity or the betrayal of any of the men's spouses. Needless to say this is not a movie to watch with your wife. A morality tale this is not.

The thing that seems to be missing is rationale. Something to explain why anyone should care about a woman who deliberately endeavors to assist men in cheating on their wives. Where is the dignity in this kind of behavior?

The acting is okay. I have always liked Jane Seymour since her Bond-girl days. Maybe I expected this to be something more, something meaningful and dignified. Parker Stevenson is okay, but since the Hardy Boys (I read all of the books and seen probably every episode) I have never seen him in anything I cared for much at all. Just not very believable as an actor.

Basically this is a movie about a serial mistress and the men she pretends she is in a relationship with while they all ignore the betrayal in which they are engaging. Near the end is the obligatory high-school music soundtrack montage where her and her best-friend realize they love each other. Also her co-worker is a married gay comedian who tells a joke about blackmailing jocks in high school. Then her best-friend admits he loves her. She says the same thing back to him. HINT: For his entire adult life she has been a serial mistress, including with him.

He and she both should understand that neither one of them understand concepts like fidelity or monogamy. But they end up together anyway.
