Plot Synopsis

Violation‘s plot synopsis: “With her marriage about to implode, Miriam returns to her hometown to seek solace in the comfort of her younger sister and brother-in-law. But one evening a tiny slip in judgement leads to a catastrophic betrayal, leaving Miriam shocked, reeling, and furious. Believing her only recourse is to exact revenge Miriam takes extreme action, but the price of retribution is high, and she is not prepared for the toll it takes as she begins to emotionally and psychologically unravel.”

I am a film buff who's going to give it straight about the movies I watch, even if I know our opinions will differ. Remember, if our opinions aren't at odds sometimes, we wouldn't have anything to discuss. And talking about movies is what it's all about, right? I own over 500 movies and watch them on continuous rotation.
