Query: Desperate Acts

I won't give a long drawn out account on why this movie was bad for me, but one thing sticks out in my mind. The characters tried too hard to me. I love Sanna Latham, but it seems like she was forcing herself to convince us that she was really romantically involved with Wesley Snipes. With all the ups and downs of their relationship, I was praying that they just chalk the relationship up as a loss and move on.After awhile it just get tiring ,you know, like a real relationship.I much prefer the book. This movie doesn't hold a candle to the book. The book is as real as it gets. Pretty much how things are today.
