Review title: Both shallow and overwrought
Product review: Kate Winslet's performance is nuanced and well done, but it's wasted in this dark, ill-conceived mess of a movie. The cloying tone of the male narrator reminds one of the female narrator of that waste-of-time tv series set on Wisteria Lane, another suburban enclave.This production manages to be shallow, annoying, and overwrought to the point of often seeming comic, although the sequence of events grows increasingly violent. This director desperately needs to find some better, less cliched ideas to make a plot worthy of watching. A woman bored in suburbia? A man feeling emasculated by a capable wife who is the family breadwinner? A cop with "post-traumatic stress syndrome"? The movie strikes one as a paint-by-number creation, and an extremely sloppy one, at that. It ranks as the worst film I have seen in years.
