Plot Outline: "Unfaithful" centers on Diane Lane and Richard Gere as a couple living in the New York city suburbs whose marriage goes dangerously awry when the wife (Lane) indulges in an adulterous fling.
A stunning, provocative and sensuous thriller directed by Adrian Lyne. Enough nudity to flesh out the movie and the violence is top notch brutal. A suburbanite(Diane Lane)puts her eleven year marriage on the line by having an affair with a younger man (Erik Per Sullivan)that she accidentally runs into in the city. The affair is hot and passionate. The husband(Richard Gere)realizes that something has gone awry in his marriage. Upon finding out what his wife has been doing, he confronts her lover. Your eyes will be glued to the screen. The passion; the angst; the guilt; the shame; all drip with realism. You will probably leave the theater a little flushed and wanting a cigarette...well, you get the idea. Lane carries this movie and deserves a lot of the credit for its success. Gere is excellent as the stunned husband even if he doesn't play the stud role. Highly recommended.
