I'm a very easily pleased film enthusiast and usually the last person to critique a film very negatively, but this is one of the worst films I've ever seen. The acting was horrendously bad, one of the main actresses butchering nearly every line she had to the point that she was sometimes unintelligible.
In terms of the submissive and dominant representation, it was extremely poor. It didn't express that relationship dynamic and played into this inaccurate cliche that the dominant was cold hearted and self serving, and that the submissive was a conscious-less puppet with barely two braincells to rub together.
In terms of the plot it could have saved the film a little if the ending was so badly tacked on; we as viewers are meant to believe that one minute the mistress was a using, back stabbing monster to then suddenly genuinely concerned about her submissive after framing her, and thus an insane and unbelievable reunion.
And the cherry on top; a film that's supposed to be about kinksters features some of the blandest and most uninspired sex you've ever witnessed. Fifty Shades, which is widely regarded as mediocre at best, was far more titillating.
Dreadful.
