Side Effects (2013)

A psychiatrist finds his life unraveling after accepting a new patient who's husband has just been freed from a four year prison term. I have to be a little ambiguous with this one so I don't give away any spoilers. If you are in the habit of checking IMDb you will notice my summary is nothing like theirs, that's not accidental (in fact theirs is a bit of a cheat). Anyway this is a good movie for Jude Law fans and those who prefer a more involved movie experience.  I would compare this movie to Primal Fear (1996) or Stone (2010) in tempo and depth (Jude is much more refined than Edward), if you enjoyed either of those you will probably enjoy this one. It had no trouble keeping my interest throughout.
