Featured review
very unusual thriller
A very unusual thriller and one that you feel it is going in one way and really changes and then again. Steven Soderbergh clearly as the side effects than more than we imagine and makes the film superior amusement. Rooney Mara and Jude Law excellent as her psychiatrist and her need of a new drug that helps. Catherine Zeta-Jones is fine and is rather than she seems so astute.
