This film worked for me for the first 10–20 minutes, as it just felt like a fine throwaway B movie storyline. After one bad decision turns his life upside down, he now finds himself right in the middle of a police investigation. To put the premise simply, Derrick Tyler (Michael Ealy) is uncertain about the loyalty of his wife toward him, so on a bachelor trip, he decides to have a one-night stand with Val Quinlan (Hilary Swank). I'm not going to sugar coat this review and find things I admired about the film very much, because it's just a bad film, through and through. It's films like this that usually end up going straight to streaming services or to DVD back in the day. Yes, it had a theatrical run last month, but I think being on-demand is where it will find its biggest audience anyway. Being released primarily by Lionsgate, in normal circumstances, this film probably would've had a wide release in theatres. Movies like Fatale are made more often than one might think.
