Review of The Details (2012) by Gil S — 20 Jul 2013

An entertaining and strange film, it is very dark humor! Goes to show how one wrong move can set off an unpleasant chain of events. Tobey Maguire plays Jeff Lang, a gynecologist that has been married for a decade to Nealy Lang (Elizabeth Banks), father of one child and they live in a nice home along the suburbs.

After 10 years of marriage, the sparks are gone and so is the romance, leaving Jeff to engage in porno websites to fulfill his needs. When Jeff begins an obsessive mission to rid his yard of some unusually persistent raccoons, he has an unsettling encounter with his reclusive, feline-hoarding neighbor.

Before Jeff knows it, a simple pest-control problem has snowballed into a full-blown existential crisis involving bows and arrows, extortion, and multiple extramarital affairs. Sometimes silence is the best policy and you will learn that after watching this film which is streaming on Netflix, so enjoy the ride.
