Review of The Cheat

The Cheat (1915)
1/10
Dull
4 December 2015
To the films credit the shots are well lit and framed, and the editing tight - there isn't much excess - but 25 minutes was all I could endure.

Wealthy people quarreling is not my idea of enjoyment and I felt nothing in those 25 minutes. From the scheming, money minded men, to the spoiled beauty who makes poor selfish decisions on a whim, there's not a likable character here - but nor are the plot or themes captivating enough to make up for these shortcomings.

It's very predictable and performances are generic. I would recommend only for die-hard fans of DeMille or the actors.
