Bel Ami - 2 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

Somewhat disappointing considering a real interesting cast which is the resin I checked out this 2012 release that runs 102 minutes.Sadly that is really the only reason to see this film and its why I could only give it a 50/50 rating of 2 1/2 stars.The story is pure debauchery in turn of the century 19th century Paris for a returning soldier who goes into private life and very forbidden loves.However the casting is very interesting and they all work fine with this crappy material.Robert Pattinson,Uma Thurman,Christina Ricci and Colm Meaney lead a very competent cast and the only reason to see this film when none other are available.Trailer URL follows the picture and a IMDB summary below.

 Georges Duroy is a penniless soldier returning from war. He travels to Paris in a search for ways to improve his social and financial status. He uses his wit and powers of seduction to charm wealthy women. Written by Anonymous
