Review of Side Effects (2013) by Stephen C — 15 Sep 2013

Its been a long time since I stopped watching a film 50 minutes in and then jsut fail to engage with it .

Well I did here which is a shame since I really enjoyed Contagion by the same team.

The film just becomes boring and its hard to regain that interest when you become bored .

I think Soderbergh is well served by his cast but the script just wanders about and if its meant to be a thriller then it fails to thrill.

Maybe I will try again as after all the director is planning to retire from filmaking and I would hate to think I had been unduly harsh.

But on the whole I really couldnt get excited about this film.
