Transparent and wooden

Warning: Spoilers
Main character was definitely the best performance but there were times when even he was a bit stiff. His boss was one of the worst actors I've ever witnessed - seriously cringe.

The plot was absolutely transparent. The main character has no money to make partner of the architect firm but then suddenly he's got money after wife's ransom payout. Ooo maybe he had something to do with it! He witnesses her being murdered on screen after paying the ransom but he keeps seeing her everywhere. The whole plot would have been better without that aspect of visions of his wife in terrible walking dead corpse make-up. The whole thing was also very slow with very few things going on at all.

The fact that he suddenly had enough money to make partner at his firm after a ransom payout and apparent murder of his wife didn't seem to trigger any source of funds investigation by the police who suspected him of murdering his wife anyway. The detectives accent and drawl was something to laugh about at least though!

There was no real explanation of why the other work colleague and his entire family had to die for the "dead" wife to get her revenge on her husband for setting her up as a kidnap victim even though she knew by making her own deal with the kidnappers that she wasn't supposed to get harmed. Using the other family as leverage for him to top himself didn't stack up at all. As she wasn't supposed to be killed herself anyway she actually had little to be annoyed about.

The scene near the end where he makes a recording of his wife admitting her entire plot and then hands it to her is bizarre.
