gorchest in that a woman gets to a) be really mad at a guy for his actions b) get more than even with him and c) the producers did not SELL OUT the ending. It is unlike first wives club and fatal attraction in that way. Therefore a lot of folks will not like this flick. And it probably wasn't commercially viable in theaters. However, unlike first wives club (which was first a good book), no one lobotomized the ending to suit white male America. When someone "improves" the ending the result is usually dreadful. The Prince of Tides, First Wives Club and Fatal Attraction are all glaring example of what I mean by this. The male lead in Art of Revenge is a shallow little creep who dumps his wife for some eye candy. His loving wife (played by Joyce Hyser) refuses to land with a thud and just rub some dirt on it. As most women do. She gets the best of him. LITERALLY. And without killing him. (I wont spoil everything for you.

guilfisher-1 This 2003 made for TV movie was shown on a women's channel, naturally. As a man, why do I even attempt to watch this? I don't know, but I should have my head examined. And director and writer Simon Gornick should be ashamed of himself to give men an injustice as he does. He takes away any strength and conviction a man could have by having several boring women do him in. Number one bore is Joyce Hyser as the wife. I couldn't wait for him to drop her. Her revenge was silly and stupid and very confusing through most of the movie. The other femme fatale was Nichole Hiltz, about the coldest person you'd ever want to meet. Her looks didn't warrant our leading man to go that ape over her and her acting was so obvious, only a fool could miss. Definitely a loser. Tembi Locke was pretty good, but slow on the uptake as to the slut seducing her own husband, again played as a guy who is a loser, by David DeLuise. Rounding out our cast of losers is Anthony Denison as a boss who has little to do but scowl at our hero. Stephen Jenkins as our hero, or should I say victim, was not that good. At first I thought he just a bad actor, but later I believed it. He never got the part off the ground and was repetitive throughout. Although, as a man, I became enraged when the two women got away with it. Men, beware of this channel that puts men down and women get away even with murder. LMN is the channel. Beware. Note: Having watched this a second time by mistake, I am convinced on my initial thoughts. Especially on the writer/director, Simon Gornick. I still believe he has disgraced the male species and should be horse whipped. Only saving grace in this film is Tembi Locke who doesn't have a chance to show her talents with the awful acting of Jenkins, Hyser, Hiltz and DeLuise around her. Plus the stupid plot that only makes it worse. Down with Gornick's movie and his vacant stars in it. Please LMN don't show this trite again.

route3eb The movie was insane! Great story line, a very dangerous movie for bitter women to see.... be ware men! It was a good movie, but the actiing wasn't all that great. Stephan Jenkins, (lead singer/songwriter for the band Third Eye Blind) is not the best actor, but he admits it, and he actually he did a better job acting as the movie progressed. He did a good job for his first time acting. And come on ladies... you have to see this movie because of the fact Stephan Jenkins is a babe! Woa! So overall it was a good movie, kept your attention, it's an independent film and I enjoyed it! I recommend it to the viewing audience.

jea4316 You've heard it said to live every moment as if it's your last? Whether it's your last day or not, I beg you not to waste any part of it watching this! Nichole Hiltz provides some nice moments of eye candy (that alas, stays wrapped) and David DeLuise shows why he should stick to the small screen or dog food commercials. A shallow, unrealistic plot with dreadful dialogue means there is no "Art" in the "Art of Revenge".
