Side Effects
Crit
If this really is adios from Steven Soderbergh, he has gone out with a bang, not a whimper. For those of you who haven't seen this, I don't have much else to say except: do. Those who have can sweep the invisible text below to see what else I have to say about it.If this really were a Hitchcock film rather than Soderbergh's Hitchcockian one, who would play Jude Law's psychiatrist character? At first I was thinking the creepy James Stewart avatar of Vertigo, but no, in fact, though Dr. Banks gets as manipulative as Scottie Ferguson, he doesn't ever lose touch with reality. Instead, who you'd want would be the Cary Grant of Suspicion: charm to the edge of smarm, to the brink of guilt.
As for Rooney Mara's Emily Taylor, I'm not sure whether any of Hitch's blondes would have fit, since they all turn out all right in the end.
Oh, wait, one more thing for everybody: remember when we didn't think Zeta-Jones could act?

- The Last Exorcism, Part II--Mostly liked the first one, but skeptical.
