Perceptive and incisive state-of-the-(marital)-union immorality play is laced with black comedy and layered with Hitchcockian overtones. Chris Cooper plays a disillusioned, cheating husband who plots the death of his devoted wife (Patricia Clarkson), who, it turns out has some secrets of her own. Pierce Brosnan costars as Cooper's best friend, a first-class Lothario with plans of his own, and Rachel McAdams portrays the object of Cooper's affections. Directed by Ira Sachs.
