Well, I did, and this was my first disliked film I've cried to. And I think by doing that I have proved that a movie does not have to be good to move you emotionally and vice versa (this example can be applied to a Stanley Kubrick movie). So, what about you, darlings?
sharenah, I usually quit watching if I dislike it before then.
shareI understand not liking it, I thought it manipulative and disappointing, and full of embarrassing cliches. But cry? WTF?
shareI didn't particularly think much of this obscure little 1995 psychological police thriller "Someone to Die For" directed by Clay Borris, but the first twist towards the ending made me INCREDIBLY emotional as I cried physically at several dubious BUT understandeably relatable points and to a minor extent, the final twist.
To spell it out, the first one is where you find out that this one woman, who had a traumatic past, is actually turned into a villainous character BUT you can't help BUT feel sad for her despite her two wrong deeds, the second of which is an attempted murder of that police officer and the female reporter. I actually felt sorry for her even though I understood her later getting shot and POSSIBLY killed in self defense, the first part could at least be attributed to (figure out what it is). I'll tell you something else - if you EVER really wondered why both in films and to a lesser degree in real life as CIVILIZED beings we don't look at women who do wrong the same as men, watch that scene and the film itself and then you'll find out.
The LESSER but STILL emotional SECOND main twist, and sorry for the spoilers but maybe you won't see the movie anyway, involved the ACTUAL discovery of who killed those police officers.
Its an average movie overall, with a somewhat predictable plot, at best OK to average performances, some rather noticeable goofs and standard direct to video like cinematography and direction, but that part with the woman and the other twist were surprisingly touching and emotional.
