      Side Effects

      However improbable and unlikely the scenario is in Side Effects, it is a smart and creative story. Rooney Mara delivers a stunning performance as an extremely difficult and complex character. Soderbergh's directing further enhances the quality of the film with memorable and innovative shots and editing, which creates a slow but suspenseful setting throughout. Don't get fooled by the title, as the film has little to do with medicines or drugs, but it is a commendable thriller that is worth...

      okay, no shame

      Fortunately, it is not ashamed to

      say that Soderbergh threatened to retire not once or twice, but it has not been filmed and filmed again. I don’t know if people are old and have the desire to talk. Anyway, Soderbergh’s words are getting more and more serious. It's a pity that the faster he shoots, the thinner his thoughts become. Anyone familiar with the history of film knows what Soderbergh means to American independent films, thinking that "Sex, Lies, Videotape" hit the nerves of...

      A woman with a vicious heart is no match for a bald male doctor with a high IQ—On the motive for murdering her husband

      After watching "Side Effects" on a sultry afternoon on Sunday, I woke up suddenly after a 20-minute slumber, and countless questions were circling and accumulating in my brain. Although there was still work to be done, there were too many emotions about this movie. It is worth procrastinating the work for this reason.

      There are too many blank spaces in "Side Effects". Regarding the motive of the crime and the clues about the relationship between the characters, Soderbergh left the...

      Stupid Bitches.

      The most annoying character in this film is undoubtedly Jude Law's daughter-in-law.
      Yelling, not saying that even her husband doesn't believe it.
      In the end it pretended to be okay.
      Overall, this film belongs to the category of high-IQ crimes.
      This theme can make the audience think closely with the plot.
      The cast is also quite luxurious.
      But I didn't expect Channing to become cannon fodder not long after he came up...
      Zeta-Jones staged a Les.
      Dragon...

      "Side Effects": The psychological challenge of a psychiatrist fighting a girl

      In order to earn a large amount of the stock price difference, a pair of female prostitutes do not hesitate to stage a mental farce, plan to kill their husbands, and frame and frame doctors to gain vested interests. After her husband Channing Tatum died inexplicably, Jude Law, who became a down-and-out doctor, did not let evil do whatever he wanted. With his superhuman talent and wisdom, he not only saw through the intrigues and tricks of the gay girls, but also took advantage of their...

      Real mental illness is not scary, what is scary is people who pretend to be mentally ill. PS: I have basically taken all the antidepressants mentioned in it. Psychiatric preparations are still in the new industry. I am just acting as a guinea pig. I really don’t expect to be...

      Using the side effects of drugs to evade legal sanctions, and the criminal skills with great ideas, the movie itself can be more in-depth, and the counterattack part may not even be there, just like...

      The script, photography and soundtrack are very good. The director uses a large aperture soft focus lens to create a psychedelic picture effect. The story begins to speed up the rhythm in the middle, and the suspense is permeated. The contradictions and conflicts between the characters gradually surfaced. But the overall style is not my type....

    Evaluation action

    The story and suspense are not so advanced, and the transfer of horror and suspense is also expected, and the answer is not difficult to guess. Winning at Soderbergh tells stories and is familiar with the rhythm of commercial films. In addition, several actors are good and eye-catching, so although the material is common, it is fortunate to turn over the flowers, and the most important thing is to be beautiful, so "Side Effects" is...
