: Enough
What I kept thinking as I watched this was of those paint-by-number kits I had as a child. This is a paint-by-numbers movie. It’s got all the elements: tough lower-class chick falls in love with rich dude, they get married and start a family, he cheats and beats her, she runs away with daughter, and he uses influence to track her. In the end, he’s got all the power, so the only thing she can do is learn to defend herself and kill him. Not a bad film at all: mildly fun, somewhat interesting, and quite predictable. But that’s exactly what makes it mediocre. It’s got some nice touches and interesting scenes, and it’s well-done, but ultimately nothing much happens that we don’t know before it starts.
