Watch Trailer
2014 · 86 min Comedy Thriller Drama
4.2 / 10 · TMDB

Brooks Caldwell, (Cary Elwes) an erudite and handsome lawyer, seems to have it all: wealth, social status and a red hot career. His success is, in reality, a product of his marriage to his beautiful, socialite wife, Amanda, (Terri Polo) a wealthy timber heiress. Unlike most, who would remain content to enjoy a life of luxury and privilege, Brooks continues to risk everything by having extramarital affairs. Brooks' philandering, in addition to humiliating Amanda, has driven her to the point of a mental breakdown. Having been pushed over the edge, Amanda orchestrates a just and elaborate plan to bring her husband down. When Brooks leaves for a weekend romp with his latest squeeze, (Agnes Bruckner) his life quickly descends into a bizarre, nightmarish, downward spiral.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative on the sharp contrast between the protagonist's polished exterior and the absurd unraveling of his world. It relies on elements of dark comedy and psychological thriller to explore the mechanics of self-destruction and poetic justice.

What lingers after the credits is the unsettling blend of humor and dread, a reminder that some traps are of our own making. The escalation from farce to nightmare feels both inevitable and strangely satisfying. — MovieFinder Editorial
