Four years ago, Emily (Rooney Mara) fell into depression when her husband Martin (Channing Tatum) was jailed for insider trading. Now that Martin is out of prison, Emily's depression hasn't diminished, and she has attempted suicide by driving in the parking lot. After a suicide attempt, psychiatrist Jon (Jude Law) begins to treat her. Jon learned that Emily's former doctor was Siebert (Catherine Zeta-Jones), so he asked Siebert to learn something. Siebert talks about the new drug Ablixa being advertised, and gives Jon an Ablixa pen. Jon prescribed Emily several medications for depression, none of which seemed to work. Emily offered to put her on a drug called Ablixa, which was recommended to her by her colleague Julia. After taking the new drug, Emily's condition improved, but she started sleepwalking. Jon told her that sleepwalking was a side effect of taking the drug. One night, Martin came home to find Emily sleepwalking in the kitchen, and Emily stabbed Martin with a knife. Martin died because Emily was an unconscious insanity homicide, a victim of life circumstances and drug reactions, and the court acquitted Emily, but she had to spend time in a mental hospital to make sure she was okay. Because of the decline in business volume, Jon was chased by the media, and the lucrative new drug research was also cancelled by the pharmaceutical company, and his life was suddenly in trouble. Jon saw Siebert's article on Ablixa's website, which mentioned Ablixa's side effects of sleepwalking, but Siebert didn't tell him. Jon suspected that Siebert was hiding something. He began to investigate the cause and effect of the entire murder. He found that Emily was wearing a seatbelt while driving herself in the parking lot. There are advertisements for car airbags. Jon learned that Ablixa's company's stock plummeted because of Martin's death, but Wall Street made a lot of money, and he suspected that there was insider trading, like someone bought a lot of aviation options before the 9/11 crash. Jon used the alienation scheme to uncover the truth. It turned out that Siebert and Emily conspired to commit securities fraud. Siebert is taken into custody by the police, Emily is locked in a mental hospital, and Jon starts his happy life again. "The hopelessness you feel is just a symptom, and you should leave it behind." "A psychologist once said: depression is the inability to build the future." "In the UK, if you go to a psychiatrist or take medicine, others You're going to think you're mentally ill; in America, people think you're going to be mentally fit." It feels like if the second half of the film is too dramatic, Emily, who is actually injected with normal saline, pretends to be amytal injected by Jon After getting the handle, Siebert sent another photo to threaten Jon to expose himself. The two women who had been planning for a long time were easily dealt with by Jon's alienation scheme. Jon's counterattack was too fast. Personally, I feel that it is better to focus on the treatment of depression patients, the harm of psychotropic substance abuse, and the relationship between doctors and patients in pharmaceutical companies.
