I got a chance to see this movie over a month ago at the AMC 25 on 42nd street in Times Square here in New York City. All I will say is this movie was mind-blowing and EXTREMELY timely. This movie is a perfect starting point for a much needed dialogue regarding a brooding DL issue. If you want to know more then buy the DVD in May; I promise it's worth it. This movie is definitely well acted, suspenseful, intense, filled with recognizable and acclaimed actors and poignant. Bill Duke (the director) did a great job. There were some editing clumsiness that got on my nerves at times, but the story and the acting made up for it. Check it out!

MAN I MUST SAY IT PAYS TO LISTEN TO THE RADIO SOMTIMES!! I HEARD ABOUT THIS MOVIE ON THE RADIO.. SO ME AS A BLACK WOMAN I FELT WE NEED TO GO AND SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER CAUSE IF WE DONT... NOBODY WILL!!!

HOWEVER IF YOU ARE A SENSITIVE PERSON, OR BETTER YET CLOSED MINDED THAN THIS IS NOT FOR YOU!!! THIS MOVIE ( I WONT GIVE TOO MUCH AWAY) BUT THIS MOVIE IS ABOUT A TABOO TOPIC THAT NOBODY (ESPECAILLY) IN THE BLACK COMUNITY LIKES TO TALK ABOUT...

BUT WHEN I SAW THIS MOVIE I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!! I DRUG MY MOM TO SEE THIS MOIVE AND SHE WAS SPEACHLESS!!!! SHE EVEN TOLD A MALE FRIEND OF HERS... AND HE CALLED HER RIGHT AFTER THE MOVIE WAS OVER AND HE EVEN LOVED IT! THEY TALKED A LONG TIME ABOUT IT... ITS A DEEP MOVIE!!! IT "COVERS" A LOT OF TOPICS LIKE I SAID NOBODY TALKS ABOUT....

FOR THOSE WHO LOVE MOVIES THAT ARE UNPREDICTABLE THAN THIS IS FOR YOU!!!

SUPPORT IT... ITS WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!

I recently bought this about a month a ago, and my husband and I decided to watch it together...I was not really sure about what the movie was going to depict. But overall it is a good movie, nothing I would see with the kids. But it does have several messages within the movie..how we as Christians, should love one another and should weclome everyone one regardless of what or where they are coming from...if you allow God in, he will change you from the inside and outside...well we see in this movie how some of the church women act ugly to one character, it shows that even though we call our selves Christians..look in the mirror before you start talking, we all came from somewhere.
It also shows how things in the dark will come to light eventually, and how the choices we may can either make us or break us.
While the movie deals with real issues, you must watch it and pay close attention....and leave the judging up to GOD!

I figured anything with Bill Duke's name on it had to be good and I was correct. Still, I didn't know what to expect when I rented 'Cover'. But now I do-- absolutely superb! Kudo's to Bill and the rest of the cast. You've made a high quality film that informs, enlightens and breaks your heart...really a great piece of work...I'm looking forward to more.

This film is a murder mystery with a surprise element. I won't give it away. In fact when you get your copy of this dvd, don't even read the liner notes. Just watch it. Bill Duke handles the subject matter brilliantly. I was absolutely blown away by this film and I already knew what it was about including the surprise twist. I was riveted to my screen for the duration of the film. I believe that this movie had a different title during its filming. I remember hearing about it but not hearing about its release. I am so limited in what I can say about this film without ruining it for you so just order it now and see it for yourself. Vivica Fox, Louis Gossett, Clifton David and Leon lend their talents to this drama. I am happy to report that there is no foul language or sex in the film. However, this is not a film for children. I suggest age 18 & up. See this movie now. You can buy the dvd or have it downloaded straight to your pc. Enjoy!

I really liked this movie.It is a wake up call not just for African-American women,but for all married women that suspect their husbands may be cheating.Most of the main chracters do a great job of acting,some of the supporting cast can use some lessons,though.Some scenes are over acted.Vivica Fox is great as usual.And you will be mildly shocked at the surprise ending.

Mr. Bill Duke. Thank You for making a film in which we don't have to shuck and jive or, curse and swear. This movie is a close second in my book to Love Jones. This is a very powerful movie in my period. Where is the soundtrack???

I had heard nothing about this movie and only picked it up because the Great Debaters was out and the jacket read good. I'm sOOOO glad I decided to go ahead and get it. I HIGHLY recommend this movie. Im usually pretty good a predicting or figuring out who "do it" but this one threw me WAYYYY in the left field. When she walked in the room I totally expected to see Monica boy was I wrong. I rented it tonight but I will be purchasing it for my collection of black cinema.

This is a movie that you will watch over and over...the plot is good, and there is excellent acting...you will guess all through the movie - who did what and who's with whom - but you'll never get it...well hidden plots and also very informative!!! the main character makes you feel her pain like you are going through it with her....

Its a shame that films like this do not create more attention. the subject matter is very timely,especially in the black community where the "DL" problem is at its worst. Great performances and a really interesting story line propel this film to the top!
