Warning, spoilers ahead.
I love, love, loved richard gere and diane lane in unfaithful. However their destined love was not believable in this movie. The whole film played out like the director was following the procedural chick flick film. Insert betrayal here, opportunity here, actors show me chemistry! Their was no real holding back of their sudden unexpected relationship/consummation. There wasn't really any chemistry. When Lane descends into catatonia over Gere's death, I could not believe that a man who spent one weekend with her and the most endearing thing he said on screen was "who takes care of you?" could elicit such devastating grief. Trust me, in real life, this would have been a "wham, bam, thank you Richard" weekend scenario. Not a "I'll pine after you forever" one. And anyone who watches romantic films has to admit the horses arriving to the amazement of diane lane in the end is so trite, so overused in all romantic films. Insert some courageous, or unbelievable scenario. Through the power of love you have made me believe! God, I sound jaded.
