What begins as an unusual arrangement between the ambitious employee and her boss in the movie ‘Under Her Control’ ultimately results in a plot for revenge.

3 COMMENTS

  1. Whoever produced this movie was probably an alcoholic. The end of the movie was a joke. A lying pig of a girl got away with murder of a woman that helped her for 8 months. And this pig killed her and gotaway with it. This actress was a whore and a lying whore from day one. In other words, it’s okay to lie and bribe and murder people. Good people by the way. I hope this movie doesnt make any profit. That actress should be buried as the whore she is.

  2. Whoever wrote this article is just as flabbergasyingly stupid and dumb as the writer of that dumbass movie if you want to see the actual reviews search on google. It’s a shitty film with at most 4 out of 10 stars or 1 out of 5 stars. Don’t waste your effing time.

  3. This movie deserves a minus 10 rating. It is a waste of time and terrible script and the Argentinian and Colombian actors are so terrible that they destroy totally the film. The director is so bad, he needs to go back to wherever he came from, he stinks! It is an absolutely not recommended film to watch. Awful!
