Morally ambiguous film, but it is interesting to watch. After 7 years of marriage, the husband throws his devoted wife, who helped him get back on his feet and achieve success, because he lacks the thrills and hot young girls.
An abandoned wife decides to take revenge, sending him a beautiful criminal, so that she would fall in love with herself, and then break her heart. But the young beauty is not so simple, and weaves her own intrigues.
In the first half of the film, you sympathize with your wife, but then there's a moral dilemma - isn't she going too far? What else is she willing to do for her wounded self-love?
The development of the plot causes many different emotions, and the attitude to the characters changes several times, until an unexpected denouement occurs at the end.
I still haven’t developed a definitive attitude towards the characters, which makes this film more lifelike. There are no cardboard negative or positive characters, all the characters are alive, with their mistakes and experiences. There was also an interesting discussion with her husband about the moral evaluation of the characters and their actions.
Some moments seemed to me not quite appropriate, as if they were just making intrigue for the sake of intrigue. For example, I don’t know why it was necessary to involve the family of friends who had nothing to do with it. It is not clear why it was necessary to arrange the exposure in this way.
But in general, the plot goes quite smoothly, holds interest and curiosity, and also makes you think about marriage, relationships and (un)acceptable revenge.

I also love the entourage of the early 2000s and got a lot of aesthetic pleasure from the atmosphere, the views, the main seductive beauty and the hapless ex-husband. It's all beautifully done.
