The Ex
This thriller is indeed extremely thrilling and very suspenseful. To say the least, it is very clichéd, but it does not take away from the extreme chills I got when watching this. Yancy Butler does an amazing job as the psycho Diedre, and I liked Suzy Amis in her sweet and innocent role. The scene where Diedre is lifting weights and Molly and David see her is very scary and got me very excited. The only thing I have to complain about is the fact that this film has too much sexual topic, and the lesbian doctor thing is quite annoying. Diedre seems obsessed with the idea! Overall, I'd say its worth three, maybe three and ½, but I wouldn't give it five. Suspense is good, Butler's performance is over-the-top and viciously excellent, but the sexual content for some reason bugs me in this movie.

A lifeless and predictable plot, not very impressive
I read the book, "The Ex," by John Lutz, and was intrigued by the portrayal of the mentally ill Deirdre Groccin. The book was very good, and so I was excited about watching it. I thought that the acting was very good, particularly from the man who played David, although the woman portraying Deirdre didn't seem to get in to her role. The director obviously hadn't read the book. Molly was extremely naive in the movie, causing you to moan in frustration at her. If your looking for a true thriller, try something else, but I would recommend that you read the book. Happy reading, and watching!

The Excrement
An abyssmal waste of time. The formulaic story revolves around the efforts of Deidre Kenyon (Yancy Butler) to stalk and destroy the family of her ex-husband, David (Nick Mancuso). Predictable plot and banal dialog aside, the movie suffers most badly from a complete lack of interesting --let alone likeable -- characters. Admittedly, Yancy Butler and Nick Mancuso do what they can to salvage this mess, but with a lame script and uninspired direction, their efforts are all in vain. Deidre is no Norman Bates; she is not so much frightening as simply overbearing. David is such a louse that the viewer can be forgiven for volunteering to take some of the workload off of Deidre. The character of standard-issue victim Molly Kenyon is so cloying that it seems almost a pity that she isn't bumped off early in the movie whereas five year-old Michael Kenyon needs his on-screen shrink much less than he does a swift kick in the slats.

In the end, the pseudo-psychology of "The Ex" simply doesn't work. The creators of "The Ex" don't appear to understand the difference between the psychotic and the psychopath. As a result, the film winds up being an uninteresting and uncovincing bore. Don't waste your time with it.
