This film, if you are into knowing knowledge of certain medications which deals with psychiatrists and stories of one female woman who had been going through a lot of anxiety, having to have a dull life at the beginning especially after her marriage, when her husband had to go to jail right after the wedding and still had miserable experiences with the medication she had. She at first was alone going to a woman daughter who had admired her as for female sex experience. She had done more harm than good prescribing medication that had a lot of side affects, which included knifing her husband. It was a mixed bag of emotions and action which had us wondering near the end who was in fault.

I liked this movie because twists and suspense is something I love. It's like a who-done-it. I felt that it wrapped up all my questions by the end. The movie was fun to watch. It wasn't the most brilliant work, but fine for a weekday movie.

This movie really surprised me. There's a great twist which I won't give away and had me interested throughout the entire film. You should definitely try to see it!

Intriguing... I was drawn into this movie by the convincing acting, a plot I could not anticipate because of the twists and turns. The start of the movie does not predict the ending. Fast paced, roller-coaster ride which I want to see again.

You have to pay careful attention throughout this movie in order to make sense of the plot. If you just want to sit back and have it fed to you, you won't like it. I enjoyed the twists and turn. The acting was excellent and it felt "real" for the most part. A thriller for the mind; not an action movie or horror flick like some other reviewers were expecting. Yes, there was a bit of a cliche in there, but I think it was important to the plot.

I did not find it was a "good" movie. I was looking for a horror movie or a thriller but it was neither.

I have to say that it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The acting was jus so so but what does the sex scenes have to do with depression... I thought the girl suffered from depression and yet she makes up the story in the end. I suffer from a problem so does someone I know but I don't fake stuff like her. Oh well.

The story kept me interested and the film is well acted; well produced. An okay night out.

Saw the plot twist a mile away and didn't like the cliche motive (involving her doctor) Cheesy. And I love Jude Law.

Could have done without the sex scenes or at least they could have been done more tastefully. I enjoyed it for the most part but don't think I'll see it again. Took me awhile to figure out the twist, but it became clearer as time went on.

Such a great movie! You go into the movie thinking the plot is going to go one way, but there's an insane twist that is so unbelievable you would never even consider it! Definitely worth seeing, especially with the phenomenal cast. Jude Law puts on an incredible performance, and who doesn't love Channing Tatum? If you want a movie that will both shock and please you, this is the one to watch.

I didn't know much about the film before going to see it. I was pleasantly surprised by a few interesting plot twists and the slow-burning pace of this suspenseful film. I really liked Jude Law's performance as a in-debt doctor (thanks to NYC real estate loft prices, a city medical practice, as well as a blonde wife and stepson) who thinks he has found an easy way out of his financial dilemma and soon discovers nothing (and no one) is what it seems. It is a clever drama better suited to watch on an airplane or on Netflix.

The movie was OK, the plot took a long time to materialze but still decent to watch.

Really intriguing story, not what I expected but pleasantly surprised. Very well acted.

OK, so I have been tricked into seeing a criminal drama instead of a sci-fi or psycho-paranoid something, which I expected this movie to be. But at the end it was not bad, actually it was pleasantly watchable, although somewhat slow.

It was ok, I wouldn't bother seeing it in the theatre, however it would be worth watching for free on Netflix. It was somewhat slow-moving in places, though the actual plotline was interesting and the twist was unexpected. Plus, getting to stare at Channing Tatum and Jude Law is never a bad thing!

Was wondering what I was doing watching such a movie for the first 35 minutes nearly walked out... good thing I didn't... the plot started and it turned out to be a good movie... glad I stayed.

This movie confirms that the word of authority figures (like policeman and doctors)will always be taken over that given by ordinary people in a court of law (for example, as in the real life case of disgraced Ontario forensic pathologist Charles Smith)

It was a good movie, very interesting plot. A bit slow at first but twist in the end was unexpected and made the movie worth while. Gets you thinking. Interesting one you should see.

I didn't know what to expect going in. I thought it might be a movie about pharmaceutical companies. However I was pleasantly surprised. Excellent performances by Rooney Mara and Jude Law. I don't know what people were expecting to be so thoroughly disappointed with the movie. It was a classic thriller with a very well thought out ending.

Terrible movie. Way to slow. Twists and turns that weren't exciting and a waste of money. A bigger waste of time.

J'ai apprécié la première partie du film, cependant la deuxième partie laisse à désirer en employant un dénouement cliché de film d'horreur du type "Ah, le gentil du film est finalement un méchant!"

The best thing about this experience was finding out I had enough scene points for two tickets! From there it was all downhill. About 20 minutes in I asked my girlfriend 'Is it just me or is this awful' Not a good sign, ' It's a bit slow' she replied. Bad writing which made for some bad acting, some terrible framing which led me think Soderbergh must have had some side effects himself. Maybe too many party's with George and the boys. Give it a miss, the worst film I've seen in a while.

I was pretty hesitant to see this movie based on the last one of Soderbergh, which was horrible, Haywire, I think. This one was actually really solid from start to finish. The plot kept twisting and turning nicely, didn't drag too much in any one spot, and had, what I thought, was a great ending. The acting was great throughout, and even had a light weight girl on girl scene, which was a total bonus. Enjoy.

It was interesting. Acting was well done by all. Catherine Zeta Jones part although she played it very well just totally creeped me out.
