DVD Review: A Wife Alone

"Product was received for free in exchange for an honest review."

A Wife Alone is a dark psychological thriller about an ill-fated marriage in the suburbs of upstate New York. The plot centers around Jane, an attractive young bride who marries a naive investment banker named Park. The young, ostensibly happy couple buys a quaint house in a nice neighborhood and settles into the suburban dream before a visit to Park's godparents, Steve and Holly, sends their idyllic existence into a desperate tailspin. Park's godfather and mentor, Steve, is a cruel and domineering man with a penchant for illegitimate business deals and expensive prostitutes. He lords over his wife, colleagues, and anyone in his path with a single-minded goal of satisfying his deep-seeded, ego-maniacal urges. Steve immediately recognizes Jane as a woman he once "met in a hotel" and his own inner conflict swirls. As the fateful night unfolds, it is revealed that Jane's presence in the house was not some bizarre, unfortunate coincidence but rather a carefully orchestrated plot of revenge and corruption that builds to a ruthless, enduring climax.

My thoughts:

This movie is not a family movie, but one for adults to watch. 

Banker, Park has married a pretty young woman, Jane.  While visiting Park's god parents, Steve, Park's god father informs him that his new wife, Jane was a prostitute he had met in a motel room.
Park and Jane still stay over night at his god parents, even after Steve confronted Park with that news.

 Park's god mother, Holly confides in Jane that Steve has a horrible temper. He has to be the one in control of everything.  He even is controlling over an investment that Park put a lot of money into.

It is apparent at the end of the movie that Park and Jane's over night  visit at Steve and Holly's was planned ahead of time. There are some flash backs in this movie that will keep you wondering throughout.  It kept me in my seat. I would have never have guessed  the ending.

The movie plot was a well written to the very end.  The actors did a superb job, especially the actor who played Steve.  I would recommend this movie.
