What I liked

SPOILER ALERT AHEAD
I liked everybody, in particular Al LaFleur and Dee Dee Stephen’s performances. Al LaFleur playing Thorne Ellison, a handsome go-go dancer/aspiring actor whose intentions are noble at first but slowly becomes corrupted by the greed of his wife Fleur (played by Kelly Rook Daly) who entices him to take the money a tycoon has offered in exchange of sex that will get them out of her parents’ garage and out of their misery, basically “take one for the team”.
Dee Dee plays Michelle Wyllie, personal assistant to Austen Kenwood (Raymond-Kym Suttle), whose loyalty shows when the couple comes to his house to “complete the deed” and allow Thorne to sleep with Austen in Indecent Proposal fashion. Dee Dee’s is the only voice of reason in a cynical and materialistic world where consenting adults cross the boundaries of relationship and love for the love of money.

What I didn't like

The music was at times too loud when I wanted to focus on the dialogue. Also, the lighting could have been dimmed as the actors prepared the next scene.

My overall impression

A tight and clever script that may be easily adapted into a movie script. What Raymond-Kym Suttle has written is short of amazing.
