"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 psychological weaknesses to infiltrate the two. Internal emotions, resulting in a situation of cannibalism, and ultimately both of them were brought to justice.

It stands to reason that this should be a happy ending, but it is difficult to make people happy. The vase man Channing Tatum died, the dragon tattoo girl Rooney Mara was imprisoned in a mental hospital, the conspiracy girl Catherine Zeta-Jones was arrested, and only Jude Law got justice. There is no joy for all, only despair. After director Steven Soderbergh continued "Magic Mike", he brought together many idol stars to send conspiracy theory medical films. Of course, the director has no intention of revealing the dark side of the medical world in a comedy like the 2005 film of the same name. Just use the bridge of psychological treatment to plan a small psychological war.

It has to be said that the production level and interpretation level of the film are excellent techniques. With perseverance and perseverance, Jude Law relied on the clues to peel off the cocoon layer by layer, and took the opportunity to break down the female bases with a degree of precision. There is nothing too thrilling in the whole play, and it also means a bit of reasoning and suspense. The biggest flaw is that this is a typical horror crime genre that cannot be spoiled. Once the mystery is revealed, there is nothing mysterious about it. Therefore, after a long time of mystery, you will die when you see the light, and there is no depth at all. However, it is appropriate to put a simple story in a magical atmosphere. Perhaps, this is the style of the master.

    Although not as star-studded as Soderbergh's previous films, each of the leading actors is a big name. Except for Channing, who has experienced soy sauce, the others have a lot of roles. Rooney Mara is really a goddess when she dresses up a little, and the passers-by suddenly became fans. The most impressive is the drama with Zeta-Jones. Although it is very short, it is very sexy. Finally, let's sigh about Jude's hairline

    Soder had the most certainty about casting. The shots are very charming, but unfortunately there are still some problems with the script, and there are still loopholes in the decryption. The lace relationship is too provocative.
