Cast: Rooney Mara, Channing Tatum, Jude Law, Catherine Zeta Jones
After a long separation Emily (Rooney Mara) is reunited with her husband Martin (Channing Tatum). The couple’s happy reunion is tarnished when Emily succumbs to depression and an overwhelming feeling of hopelessness. She entrusts her sanity to Dr. Jonathan Bank’s, who prescribes a new drug for his ailing patient. Together the duo embark on a quest to find her happiness. It all begins with a prescription pad and ends in disaster. Side Effects is a non stop suspense filled thriller with plot twists that will leave audiences gasping. Jude Law is superb as the prescription happy doctor whose life begins to unravel once he takes on Emily’s case. Though the action may be at a minimum the dialogue and suspense are well worth the 2 hour run time. Though there isn’t much violence there is some nudity and sexual content that is not suitable for children under 17.
Side Effects enters theaters nationwide Friday February 8th.
