Review of Side Effects (2013) by Jeremyp — 24 Feb 2013
The first half of the movie is intriguing and promising. Then it drifts away to a silly, predictable ending. Why Soderbergh chose to cater to the simple minded viewer after getting the attention of the serious minded viewer will remain a mystery.
Vetting the script writer might have helped. The plot starts to fill up with bilge from the holes driven through it after the so called "Trial" and descends into an inane mystery detective plot.
Roony Mara is a delight though and we await her getting a decent script to play around in.
