  • Side Effects

    Side Effects is a smart thriller from a terrific screenplay by Scott Z. Burns. The suspense builds up gradually as we think we know where the story's going, until abruptly we find out we don't. The acting by Rooney Mara and Jude Law is outstanding. Rooney's role is particularly challenging; all the more credit to her. The soundtrack is subtle and unnerving... it puts you on edge without being jarring. I'm no expert on cinematography, except my pet peeve is movies wherein even a bright sunny morning is made to look dark. Thankfully, Side Effects is not one of these. Every shot is crisp and clear.

    I'm rooting for the film to succeed so we can get more of these types of intelligent thrillers back in theaters.
