Married Life (2007) 6/10

Starring : Pierce Brosnan, Chris Cooper, Patricia Clarkson, Rachel McAdams, David Wenham
Director : Ira Sachs
Running Time : 91 mins

Harry Allen (Cooper) confesses to his good friend Richard Langley (Brosnan) that he has been having an affair with a young widower, Kay (McAdams) behind his wife Pat's (Clarkson) back, but when Richard meets Kay he falls for her and starts to try to come up ith a plan to take Kay from Harry. Meanwhile Harry plans to kill his wife so that he can be with Kay.

This is an interesting film to watch, but stylistically there's something rather bland about it. The acting is pretty mediocre from all involved and the storyline seems unrealistic, especially the inevitable conclusion of the movie. Worth watching if you're a fan of the old Noir movies of the 1940s, otherwise this might seem a little too bland to watch.
