Hathaway and Chastain have a professional interest in this film. They are both producers. A drawn out, burdensome, film with a predictable outcome. Yes, there were a couple twists, red herrings, enough to make me consider alternative outcomes. Some have said it was Hitchcockian. It wasn't. Background music was adequate but not suspenseful. Upon leaving the theater my wife asked me what I thought of the movie (she gave it a 5). My first thought was, "why would two accomplished actors invest their own money in this stinker?" Coming from New Jersey, and growing up in this era, I loved the cars, homes, and costumes. Smoking was normal then but somehow I felt it a bit offsetting having lost parents and siblings to cancer caused by tobacco use. It's a remake of Duelles (2018). I'm thinking of watching it for comparison but not so sure I'm willing to invest another 90 minutes.
