Two couples, one married, the other not, engage in affairs amongst themselves. Ultimately the process, involving love, jealousy, power, unfaithfulness and gratification is going downhill and will be destructive before anything positive emerges.

Written and directed by Noli, one suspects Married/Unmarried has its origins in the theatre, as many of the scenes involving Paul and Amanda (married) and Danny and Kim (unmarried), seem staged, or, at least, rooted in a parallel universe to one that we call reality.

It is dark, the language vulgar, designed, one suspects, to shock, perhaps wanting audiences to be woken out of their lethargy to take on a cinematic experience that is radically alternative. The trouble is that watching it becomes such a desensitizing experience that the overall effect is lost. You learn to leave your emotions at door

All that's left is to wonder what actors Ben Daniels and Gina Bellman are doing in a film like this and how horrible Daniels's character needs to get before others decide they've had enough of him.
