Infidelity

About This Movie

Infidelity (1997) is a gritty crime thriller that pulls you into the seedy underbelly of the boxing world. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as Shane, a middleweight champ, navigates his affair with a sultry lounge singer. The film does a decent job of capturing the moral ambiguity of its characters. Pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the sense of urgency as Shane's life spirals after her mysterious death. The practical effects used during the fight scenes feel raw and visceral, which grounds the film in a sense of realism. Performances are solid, especially the chemistry between Shane and the singer. It’s a unique blend of sports drama and murder mystery that doesn’t get talked about enough.
