The story of a husband (Liam Neeson) who suspects his wife (Laura Linney) of adultery, and sets out to track down the other man (Antonio Banderas) in her life.Frankly, I was not all that impressed with this film. What redeems it is the strong performances from both Neeson and Banderas, who could eat up screen time and entertain just by the way they deliver their lines. The game between them is tense and emotional, but also well-crafted.The actual plot was just alright. I do not know that it was handled in the way we might expect a love triangle to be handled, and if the way it was happened to be the right way at all.

Appalling script. Considering the class of actors, namely Liam Neeson (personally can't stand Laura "Two-Dimensional" Linney), you'd expect less vacuous performances. I guess they did what they could with such flimsy dialogue. From the basic synopsis, the plot had promise. A theme that people could identify with and feel empathy for the protagonist. However, its attempt to be dark and tormented is laughable. Surprisingly forced. Even the relationship with the daughter was tissue thin. Whatever the father's problem was with her boyfriend, we'll never know. All really poorly constructed. A great shame they didn't have a more powerful Director to really dig deep.

This isn't a simple film. It's a film that plays with time to tell a story encompassing love, jealousy, anger, loss and pain. It covers the gamut of emotions one feels when betrayed and follows the path a man goes down as he discovers his wife has had another love.I loved Liam Neeson's descent into jealous rage and the discoveries he made about himself, his family and his relationship as he discovers secrets from his wife's past. A moody film, perfectly adapted to its subject matter, you feel drawn into Neeson's character's despair.It's not the best film I've seen recently but it's one I'm glad I saw and would heartily recommend it to others who are willing to think a film through its details. The acting's good and both Liam Neeson and Laura Linney carry the plot well. Antonio Banderas plays a less rounded role, but still does so enjoyably.Definitely a film worth watching.

As you know, pure drama in Hollywood nowadays is a disease.Whenever you have big stars, then it must be whether a comedy or an action. Otherwise it's an independent movie or a disease to be cured of. And for this drama, they found the remedy of "let's make it a Thriller !!!".The problem isn't in the misleading publicity. It's originally in the way part of this movie was written. See well how the script "hides" the wife weirdly since the start. In fact it's not smart playing with time, rather an idiot attempt to make a thriller ! Speaking about faults. Antonio Banderas' character is relatively one. How come that this janitor wears deluxe outfits, or knows these people he accompanies? How come he knew the wife in the first place? How he afforded the room and the journey that they had once? Why he wasn't made as gambler instead of chess player? (that would have explained the presence of money, and its vanishing as well). He calls himself a cosmopolitan citizen? He seemed more like a cosmopolitan beggar to me !Cut to Banderas himself. OK, to solve his enigma; it must be 1 out of 2 answers. He was / is / will be typecast as the Latino lover. Or, he can't do anything but that ! Banderas is a load of charisma, with not much of an actor. He's not bad of course, but he's a star; with a portion of the bad nature of the term. Still nothing glows by him, and pleads for him too, else his Zorro. I didn't see anything he pulled off, distinctly, here except looking dazzling as a Latino lover. And yet, I can't decide is it him? Or is it Hollywood that makes him away from getting roles like the one Neeson got in this movie for instance !On the other hand Liam Neeson ruled. True he evoked some of his last thrillers. Especially when he traveled to Europe to search for someone badly (in Taken "2008" he was searching for his daughter, and in Unknown "2011" he was searching for his wife and himself.). Though, and on the contrary of Banderas, he could establish a good character. Despite not that great writing, many moments witness that Neeson is higher actor. Just forget the many many times he said "How Dare YOU ?!!!", and recall the last 10 minutes of the movie. This man can sometimes make a character by being silent. The director feels the story, however seems astray with it at times. I mean how many shot he took for Neeson in front of his computer?! So with the silly ambiguity that was made, or made up, since the start; the movie did have a free share of confusion and bore that the story didn't deserve. The editing, the music, and the cinematography did compensate a little. And with Neeson's acting; it's watchable and particularly sensitive at last.Yes, one heart can fall in love with 2. Yes, sometimes the closest person doesn't know the closest to us. And yes, these facts can be learned – sorrowfully – very late. But NO, playing with time for nothing but turning nice drama into thriller couldn't get more awfully forced !To Hollywood : don't do that again, unless rightly.
