Side Effects (2013) [8/50]

Language: English

Cast: Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones

Story: A lady suffering from depression gets prescribed anti depressant drugs that have, in this case, life altering side effects that put all their lives in jeopardy.

Screenplay and direction: Direction is fabulous and screenplay is good.

Performances: All actors were very good and played their parts perfectly.

Interesting: *Spoiler alert*  Double jeopardy, prescription drugs and other elements are well researched and explained.

USP: The story and narration.

 

Downside: Channing Tatum is wasted. Intriguing music is missing. *Spoiler alert* Dr. Bank’s wife’s character was not supportive and self obsessed I didn’t think him getting back to her was a “happy” ending.

 

Verdict: edge of your seat thriller, I got the same feeling I get while watching an Alfred Hitchcock. Performances were great and the story was well woven. Finally, I have seen many movies lately but didn’t get the time and didn’t put the effort to blog about them this is one movie that made me blog about it immediately. Do not miss it. 8/10
