Product Description

It's been three years since Emery Simms was wrongfully imprisoned for a murder he didn't commit. Emery's best friend Brandon (Blakemore) and ex-wife Connie (Fox) are now married, running a successful restaurant and nightclub in Atlanta. Their lives change dramatically, however, when Simms is killed in prison and new evidence emerges as to Brandon's role in the framing of his friend. When Emery's long-estranged brother Donovan (White) enters the picture, he becomes determined to unearth the explosive truth behind his brother's downfall. New motives, deceptions and lies are revealed, but the closer Donovan gets, the deeper he'll get himself into trouble, and the greater the possibility of lying in a grave, right next to his brother.

This one was ok........2007-07-03

The first "Motives" was better in my opinion, although, this one did bring about closure to the first one because of what happened to "Shemar Moore's character in Pt. 1. I was glad to see that justice kind of prevailed.

Payback Can Be Great.......2007-06-18

If you saw Motives you had plenty of questions about the future well Motives 2 answers those questions. You need to see this if you saw Motives. It picks up a few years later and it gets right into it. Greed will get anyone killed and this movie shows it. No matter who you are the wrong motive will come back on you. You must watch Motives first though. So watch Motives then watch Motives 2 and have a great evening.

Puzzling.......2007-06-14

I think Motives 2 is an excellent movie, even though, one must have watched Motives 1 to fully understand this twisted mystery. Napping in between settings is most definitely not recommended.....Put on your P.I. thinking cap!

Good Movie.......2007-06-13

This is a good sequel from Motives 1. Do buy. I enjoyed it.

This Review is for all Movie Fans.......2007-06-04

This is the sequel I have been waiting for all year!!!

First, let me say that I am a huge fan of White, Fox, Jackson, Joe Torrey and am encouraged by the work of young filmmakers at "Rainforest Films." If you saw Motives 1, you know that the ground plan was laid out with everyone being a suspect in the murder of Allanah James (Golden Brooks from Girlfriends fame). Kelsy Scott continues with the story from here, revealing more information about the major players and how they each have a motive to get what they want.

Well in Part 2 "Retribution" is to be paid by the real Killer, (Blakemore) and boy does he have to pay for what he did (see the movie). Although this one is not as truly as exciting as Part 1 (see the other reviews), it was wonderful to see all these beautiful African American faces do well together (Sharon Leal, etc) on film. It would have been nice to see Shemar in some scenes, because the movie is about him to begin with.

It was a plus to see more of Jackson, he is on his way up in Hollywood. Of course, Joe Torrey steals the show for me (he is the funny man) - in fact I watched it 5 times in a row just so I could see his part and how he lit up the screen with his presence. Other newcomers presented themselves well on camera too. The sex scenes were well done (not too much).

Overall, it was not as slick as the first one, but still entertaining. My prediction is that we will discover in Part 3 that Connie, the Lawyer, and Donovan have mastermined this whole thing from the very beginning. Who knows, its just my guess. We will have to wait and see.

Since there was no 4.5 on the scale, I gave the film 4 pts. Had to take away 1pt because there was no Shemar, and 1pt because it moved too slow, it could have been more suspensful. But I gave it 1/2 pt because Kelsy Scott did a great job at letting Jackson's (character) be as mean and nasty as he should have been. It helped the movie a lot. Then I gave another 1/2 pt because the filmmakers did such a fine job at answering ALL the questions pertaining to the story, some films leave the audience with too too many unanswered questions and its hard to get a feel for having learned something.

Cant wait to see part 3. This film is worth having in your home movie collection.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent movie!.......2007-07-03

This was actually a good movie, considering it was a low budget one. It was well directed and the plot was on point. Anyone who is a fan of the starring actors in this movie should really go out and buy it. It is a true keeper!

Motives.......2007-06-08

This movie kept me guessing from beginning to end!! I could not believe the outcome! If you like surprises, this is definitely the movie for you!

Sometimes the one with motive isn't the killer........2007-01-12

This movie starts out as the usual boring plot of the millionaire playboy cheating on his beautiful wife and using money in influence to get everything he wants. Then it turns into a mystery of who killed the woman who was using the playboy to get what she wanted. Very nice acting and even the music score keeps you involved and wondering who done it. I never saw this picture in the theatre and assumed it was direct to DVD but after seeing it I'm happy of the choice to get this one. I'm not giving the ending here but it will keep you drawn in to the very end. I highly recommend that you got a little time to kill and nothing to do with the significant other then put this on and call it an evening. You will not be disapointed.

GOOD WITH ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.......2006-12-13

While lounging around the house this weekend, I watched motives after deciding to view a few flicks I have seen in a while. I must say, I was once again impressed by this film (held to B movie standards, of course). Even though I've seen this film before (more than once), it still managed to hold my attention from start to finish.

It is my understanding that there is to be a Motives 2 some time here in the near future (2007). I look forward to viewing it, while hoping it won't be a disappointment.

I would reccomend Motives to others.............

GREAT JOB AMAZON!!!!!.......2006-08-18

It was a good series

The New Deal.......2005-05-11

After Kira recieves his new Gundam from Lacus, he takes off in search of the Archangel.(The new Gundam is awesome!) With completely new intentions, Kira decides to quit the Earth forces and fight on his own. Meanwhile, the Archangel desperatly fights to survive over at Alaska. This is where Kira stops feeling pain and becomes solid on where he belongs. Gundam Seed is a must see for all Gundam fans. It has suspense, action and cool music. You may think that it sounds stupid to have yet ANOTHER Gundam series but this one IS good. All the reviews that have five stars are not a joke, it is good. Gundam Seed is one of my favorite series besides Full Metal Alchemist. It puts a new thought of the future and of the current stage of technology into place. TWO THUMBS WAY UP!

Freedom Gundam Rocks!!.......2005-02-11

I Have been watching gundam since Gundam Wing came on Cartoon Network and I have to say if you do not like episode 35 on this disc you are not a Gundam fan. The One scene where Kira pops up in the freedom, WOW! You have to see it to believe it!

Cool Climax for an Excellent Anime.......2005-01-20

I really like the show. It is one of the more emotionally involved Gundam series yet. Even though the story is almost identical to the original Gundam, the contemperary issues are hard to miss. Things like the morality of genetic enhancement and also a sort of racism or ethinicentrism are prominent in the show. Though Coordinators(genetically enhanced) are humans some believe that they are superior to their Natural counterparts. The Naturals question the morals behind the genetic inhancement of the Coordinators.

My favorite part of "Suspicious Motives" was the emotional growth of the gundam pilots and those around them. For instance, Dearka, the ZAFT(military alliance of Coordinators) pilot of the Buster Gundam, becomes more understanding of Naturals, through his encounters with Mirialla(Mir)who is a volunteer with the Archangel battleship. Athrun becomes more fond of Cagalli, who helps him recover his wounds. Kira finally becomes himself again after he heals, in the care of Lacus.

Lacus and Cagalli are quickly becoming my two favorite characters. The two are like mirror images of each other. Cagalli is fierce and combative, while Lacus is sweet and respectful to everybody. They both influence the decisions of Kira and Athrun, though Lacus seems to have more focus than Cagalli. I suspect that the girls don't fully realize the impact that they have on others that they meet.

All in all the animation is great, the music is cool and the story is getting darker by the moment. "Suspicious Motives" is an excellent climax to and already good story. The English voice acting also improved as well. Can't wait for the next round!

Freedom and Justice.......2004-12-08

At the end of the the previous disc, we were left with a shocking turn of events, as the Strike Gundam was destroyed and main protagonist Kira Yamato was apparently killed by his childhood friend Athrun Zala. While we unsurprisingly discover that Kira somehow escaped certain death, he's been taken away to an old friend, far from the field of battle. Meanwhile, the Archangel finally arrives safely at Alaska, Miriallia takes out her grief on capture ZAFT pilot Dearka Elsman, and Athrun is transferred to a special forces unit back in space. Then ZAFT launches a massive assault on the Alaska base, but a sinister secret is buried deep beneath, one that will destroy ZAFT and Alliance forces alike. Can Kira arrive in his stolen Freedom Gundam in time to save the Archangel?
