“Broken Vows” (** out of four) was an illogical and derivative thriller yet again modeled after “Fatal Attraction”, “Obsessed”, and too many others to mention. A young career-woman (Jaimie Alexander) about to be married hooks up with a bartender (Wes Bentley) who turns out to be (what else?) a real sicko who seeks to turn her life upside down when she won’t see him again. Attractive and watchable but story has more than a few logic gaps and seems to be following much too familiar a pattern by now. Bentley appears to be playing a more psychoactive version of his character from “American Beauty”…but there’s no rose petals here.
