Movie No. 161 (2013): SIDE EFFECTS

Side Effects (2013)
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Cast: Jude Law, Rooney Mara, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Channing Tatum

Here's the basic plot of the movie. The lives of a couple (Emily and Martin) get disturbingly affected by the side effects of the drug prescribed to treat Emily's anxiety. The movie gets interesting when one of the side effects is a murder.

Steven Soderbergh presents a film that has certain level of Hitchcockian wicked twist. This is a kind of movie in which things are not necessarily what they seem. In my opinion, the success of this movie can be attributed partly to convincing performances of Jude Law, Rooney Mara and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Rating: 4.0/4.0

Date seen: August 25, 2013
