jeff c @cheroky2 01/09/2022 Better than average murder mystery with lots of unpredictable twists, great acting and cinematography See more 02/17/2016 Decent Revenge Film... See more 04/02/2015 This is NOT a comedy. How it can be advertised or marketed as such is beyond me. It is dark, depressing and painful to watch. It is not fun to watch two people to spend 2 hours arguing, crying and complaining. If you are looking for a fun lighthearted movie you are looking in the wrong place. Beyond the fact this movie is not a comedy, its just not a good movie either. It drags along and the suddenly ends with no resolution. Pass on it! See more 11/03/2012 Im not sure if this is the movie that my boyfriend wanted me to review because its soon gonna be relateable to me, but here it goes. This is a great movie! Definitely worth watching if you are in a relationship that is rocky. See more 07/16/2010 Interesting film. Storyline was good, but nothing spectacular. Sutherland did a good job. It was nice seeing Fonda and Weber back together again (Single White Female). See more 05/16/2010 I'll admit, I'm biased. In fact, I'm so biased I can't possibly review this movie fairly, simply because it has my favorite actor of all time in it (Kiefer Sutherland). The story revolves around the life of an abused woman whose life gets turned upside down after a massive fight with her husband. When he's thought to be dead, she becomes the prime suspect and begins her own mission to prove her innocence. It's not a great movie - even I can admit that, but Kiefer's performance makes it all worth while ;-) I have nothing more to say. See more Read all reviews
