Asunder (1998)

Redundant and unnecessary.

The acting in this movie is really good.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

I saw the movie called Asunder and the title speaks for itself. In the world where there is so much deceit going on especially in marriages, this is evidence of how selfishness can become dangerous. Blair Underwood was magnificent in the movie as the crazy person who took things too far. When you have an affair you don't know how it will turn out but studies show it is never without someone innocent getting hurt. You also don't know how crazy and out of touch some people are and they are still are managing parts of their lives. This movie was yet another way of reminding me why I don't engage myself with people unless I really have checked them out. Blair really was out of touch with reality even after he was told by the husband and the wife to stay out of their lives. He only heard what he wanted to hear. When he killed the lady who came home with him that was really brutal. I was convinced by his character that he was a very sick man.

I watched this film late at night at 4.00am. I found it so good that i recorded it. Asunder is a brilliant film with a lot of cutting edge scenes which you do not expect. This kind of film gives you a real look on life and how you may consider the real world to be. Blair Underwood's character Chance was brilliant. He became obsessed after rejection which drove him to madness. The story is full of a different set of emotions and feelings. It showed that some people cannot be all they cut out to be. The music was brilliant on this film. Definitely ten out of ten.

I've been waiting for an African American film in the same vein as Clint Eastwood's "Play Misty for Me." I'm just sorry it took so long to find out about this one. To see Blair Underwood's character slip into madness and sill maintain his sexy edge was quite thrilling. The ladies will understand what I mean. In real life, such a character would be scary and repulsive. Yet this movie allows us to indulge in an alluring fantasy where we experience, from a safe distance, the nuances a fine Black man with a "dark side." Tim Reid is to be commended on his directing which created a sense of intense anticipation as the action increased and the movie reached its apex. Finally, the sound track was excellent. It should be produced for sell, if it has not already been done. I highly recommend this movie. It is both a romance and a thriller. Men and woman should find it enjoyable.

I have been waiting patiently for the movie to arrive in my area. I read the book in one day. Couldn't put it down. For all you thrill seekers out there, this one is a MUST read. Everything about this work (plot, characters, etc.) is perfect. My kind of action!
