Mistress Murder

The tone is well rendered, but the ending is really not so shocking, which has led to a drop in the overall evaluation of the film.
In fact, after watching too many similar films, I went back to think about many plots. It feels like there are too many places to explain. In fact, as a 24-hour script, it is still very good.
Russell is indeed at the peak level in recent years as stated by Empire magazine; the small book is quite satisfactory, there is no breakthrough; sweet sister Rachel is like a vase; Aunt Helen is also very moderate, but the explosive force is very strong; Jason Bateman's performance is short , but the acting is much better than the film in which he is the protagonist.
Recommended to see LA Confidential and Unusual Suspect.

    very good. Both Russell Crowe and Affleck played well. Instead, I don't think Russell Crowe is suitable for this role if other actors from the casting period play the role. Like Brad Pitt, Depp.

    The tradition of this type of film is that the criminal is often the victim of the beginning.
