A detestable drama detailing countless uncomfortable moments between three despicable characters that culminates in an embiguous ending that's too determined to anger the viewer. What's the point here? To show how people hide things and are not who they say they are. I wish the three accomplished lead actors (Campbell Scott, Patricia Clarkson and Peter Sarsgaard) didn't have to compromise their ethics to make such a ludicrous essay on morality. Final Grade: D-

It started off pretty good but then it collapsed without making a noise. Peter Sarsgaard and Campbell Scott, surprisingly has some sort of chemistry. Patricia Clarkson did a good job as a wife who stumbles upon the secrets of the man she admires and the man she loves. This could've been a better movie if the conclusion wasn't so low-key. It lacked a certain bite that it kind of promises in the beginning of the film. I liked the commentaries regarding the film business, marital relationships, fluidity of sexuality, crimes, and passion. The tone of the movie was okay, at times a little distracting because of the close-ups. Still, this film had good ideas so I'm not against recommending it.
