The final part in the Fifty Shades trilogy. It's better than part 2 and on par with the first film. Great cinema this is not, but as thriller filler, it does a pretty solid job. Bonus points for shaving about 15 minutes off of the runtime, so it doesn't drag as much compared to the first two films.
Our lovely couple is married now, and they're going through some classic marital issues. Less typical is the fact that someone from their past is out to hurt them. Grey becomes very protective of Ana, but she doesn't want to be caged in. The more Grey tries to clip her wings, the more resistant Ana becomes.
The performances are a bit flakey, the plot is generic and a tad ridiculous and I really didn't care too much about the outcome, but the production is decent and the pacing is okay. Not a film I'll be remembering for long, and I'm glad I'm done with the trilogy now, but I've seen much worse.
