So this film caused a bit of a ruckus on Netflix, taking the multiple days top 1 position on the streaming service two times in a row, yet holds a Rotten Tomatoes score of... 0%.

And I sat down with Noshi to watch this "better then Fifty Shades" (not that THAT is hard to achieve) movie.

The story is about a polish woman, Laura, who gets abducted by sicilian maffia boss Massimo because he finds her pretty.  He tells her she has 352 days to fall in love with him, or she will be free to go afterwards.
While she refuses his advances yet keeps teasing him, she manages to slowly let him open to her, and when she causes a rivalry between two maffia families, she starts to fall for him as he saves her from jumping overboard on his yacht.  She falls in passionate love with him and decides to marry him, and soon gets pregnant.
But after the wedding dress fitting, she is assassinated by the rival clan, leaving Massimo broken...

Okay, so no, yet yes.  This wasn`t a horrible movie per se, but for me, there where some just to forced moments in it, like the 180 she pulls between refusing him, yet all of a sudden falling madly in love with him.

Better then 50 Shades, yes, in a way, even though I understand the comments of it gloriazing rape and abduction, and like Mr Grey, in the BDSM world he would be tossed in jail for a lifetime.  Though at least Massimo, unlike Grey, takes no for an answer.

I did like the ending though (contrary to Noshi) as it was a really powerfull moment and scene, though I still don`t get why the number two of Massimo didn`t try to call the driver instead of trying to keep calling an occupied phonenumber.

So yeah, for a genre specific film, it was okay.
