The Other Man


Starring: Liam Neeson, Laura Linney, Antonio Banderas

Not a big fan. This movie is labeled a thriller and the music as set up to go; but we were left disappointed. Nothing happened beyond a heated discussion over dinner at Lake Como. It was a bit slow-moving (which I'm normally fine with) and it seemed anti-climactic. Plus, a few of the supporting actors were painful to watch. Particularly the daughter. I hope it was a one-time pain because she's starring in Emma on PBS later this month and I am looking forward to that.

I understood the plot; a man finds out his wife has an affair and he hunts down the 'other man.' We found the other details a bit confusing and not in an intriguing kind of way.

Before you ask, "why did you do this to yourself?"; Nolan picked it out.
