Christian Meier in My Brother's Wife (2005)
A stunning looking, if emotionally cold drama from Mexico.
Mr. Meier plays an successful business man who has it all, a stunning house (it really is! The kind that can be found in design oriented magazine.) and a peaceful marriage to a beautiful woman. However the calm before the storm will soon end when she discovered old passion from her husband's brother.
There are moments of passions, dark secrets and big revelations sprinkled throughout the narrative, but viewers are kept at arm's length, seeing this almost fashion spread like visuals unfold in front of them. I guess I was hoping for a more gripping experience, something that completely collapsed or erupted (both visually and emotionally) at the story unfolds.
Mr. Meier is mostly known for his roles in soap operas, (often sans his shirt.) here he portrayed a more matured, serious role; happily he still rewards the viewer some eye candies at appropriate times.
