Saw this pop up on Netflix.
Gary Oldman? Watching!
I'm a huge fan of Mr Oldman, but his (minor) role here felt like he phoned it in.
There's people reviewing this here saying Amy Adams should get an Oscar for it, but her performance in this seemed very forced, probably due to the terrible script.
Every thing about this film seemed borrowed from previous films (Rear window, Gaslight, Girl on the Train, and a touch of Columbus Circle). Very predictable. I knew who the villain was and how they'd meet their demise by about 20 minutes into it.
The Ethan character just seemed like they plagiarised Edward Norton's excellent Aaron character from Primal Fear.
This film apparently went through a lot of re-editing and it shows. It feels very disjointed.
Amy Adams' "apology" scene was cringe-worthy. Likewise the scene where she first meets Julienne Moore's character and gets drunk with her. It felt very forced and unnatural.
Could have been great. It wasn't.
A great cast. Mostly wasted.
