Jane Marcano The whole movie I kept getting the feeling of deja vu. When my husband came in and asked why I was watching this movie again... Boom! Already seen it, either that's a testament to baby brain never actually going away or, that this movie is forgettable. Regardless Viola Davis is a tremendous actress who always gives a great performance and Jenny from the block still got it too!

guil fisher Lila is the good and Eve is the bad. Performances that is. Somewhat long in telling and several boring moments don't help this overdone melodrama. Jennifer Lopez as Eve was definitely mis-cast. Not much depth in her nor strength. Just a busy body giving orders to a distraught Lila. Lila on the other hand, Viola Davis, gave a touching and beautiful performance, considering the script was ordinary. I can't say when but along the way this film became a soap opera in the typical LMN way. I felt bad for Davis as she really gave it all she had, which was brilliant with lines that didn't match the passion she exuded. Too bad. Most of the remaining cast members said their lines but were no match to Davis as a mother who lost her son due to street violence. I wonder if we didn't have Eve in this story if it might have been a better film with Davis carrying it all on her shoulders. I do feel Lopez dragged it down. And I like Jennifer, just not in this type of role. Check her out in "Enough". Brilliant.

swifty77 A half decent 'action' flick that kicks off with a promising start but then just really doesn't go anywhere, meandering around what could have been some much-needed 'BANG BANG PEWWW PEWWW' moments. Viola Davis is still brilliant however and Lopez was better than she was in 'Gigli' but not as good as she was in 'Out of Sight'. The twist comes around with about twenty minutes to go and, credit where credit's due, I wasn't actually expecting it. But the whole reveal is so pointless and makes TOO much sense for a twist anyway, it doesn't have any affect whatsoever. The story chugs along as if the twist never happened. If you're looking to kill some time, watch this.

deeduh-king When I am really into a movie, I can watch it numerous times without getting bored. This is one of those movies where I watch it once and probably never again. It wasn't horrible, in fact, it was decent. The twist was nice but there came a point where it was almost expected. Luckily the expectation came right before the twist, so it wasn't as if I was meandering through this movie knowing what was going to happen. To my surprise, Jennifer Lopez actually did a great job. I'd give her acting a 8/10. Viola Davis does phenomenal, as per usual - 10/10. There were moments when the two worked off of fierce chemistry. They did great together. I rarely ever comment on the realistic aspects of a movie (whether they're realistic or not,) because movies have a certain magic about them where certain things shouldn't hold true to our reality. But one thing that got under my skin a bit was the fact that Lila got off for all of the crimes she committed. Never, in any type of story, would a detective walk away from the murders of seven people, whether those people were drug dealers or not. In this movie, there didn't need to be a "happy ending." The story would've flowed better and left a better lasting impression had the detective actually done his job and arrested Lila for the murders and crimes she committed. The message would've shifted from "a mother scorned" to "our actions have consequences, no matter how noble we think our actions are." This is why I give it an 7 out of 10, and this is the reason I can really only watch this movie once in my lifetime. The ending could've been much greater, but since the acting was on par, I'll give this movie a pass.
